Abstract
Novel concepts like digital twins and X-in-the-Loop (XIL) simulations are being adopted in many new application areas by all entities in supply chains, including enterprises of all sizes as well as research institutes. However, they are not sufficiently addressed during control education in standard bachelor and master courses. The main cause is the high price of required equipment and SW toolchains. In addition, clear vision and common understanding of the role of digital twins in individual XIL stages should be created. In this paper, cost effective tools are presented and their utilization is demonstrated with a simple gantry crane model with special focus on load swinging attenuation. The authors believe that the presented tools and ideas would bring wider competences to the students and thus bridge the gap between industrial needs and academic practice and shorten the way towards 4th generation universities.
