A New Approach to Build Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Systems Based on Digital Twin's Technologies

Abstract

Many studies have been made on the attitudes of Digital Twin, Industrial Internet of Things and cloud services. Indeed, there are positive results in the application of new ways of using these technologies. But separately each of these technologies is limited by its capabilities. So there is a way to use them in collaboration. Computer numerical control (CNC) machines and sensors, Industrial Internet of Things platform and Digital Twin on the one hand, cloud computing on the other. The synergistic effect of the application of those technologies provides new opportunities and could increase manufacturing efficiency. In this research Digital Twin works with IIoT platform Winnum combined with cloud services came to a concept of Digital Twin as Service. The research shows development from classical Digital Twin model to modernized model with a concept of Digital Twin as Service.
