Digital Twin Data Model in Real-Time 3D Environments: Integrating PLC Data with Universal Scene Description
Bachelorarbeit M. Kreuzer
With Industry 4.0 becoming more prevalent, there's an evident need for systems capable of displaying and handling real-time operational data. Digital Twins, which are virtual representations of actual systems, present a viable solution. However, a prominent challenge lies in the integration of real-time PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) data with these Digital Twins.
One primary question my thesis seeks to address is: How can a data model be constructed that incorporates PLC data into a real-time 3D Application? To achieve this, the thesis will explore existing methods in data integration, data modeling, digital twin technology, and PLC systems.
