Desenvolvimento de um gêmeo digital de um sistema didático modular de manufatura.

Abstract

The digital twin (DT) is a virtual replica of a physical asset, which is capable of providing a real-time three-dimensional (3D) graphical representation of the components, dynamics and data associated with this asset, thus constituting itself as a tool with great potential for application in many areas, especially in the educational context. The present work presents the steps related to the development of a DT, inserted in an application, of a modular didactic manufacturing system present in the Laboratory of Electronic Instrumentation and Control (LIEC) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), created with the objective of assisting in the development of industrial automation projects. The application was developed on the Unity game engine, using, in an integrated way, augmented reality resources and an OPC UA client to display the 3D components of the virtual system, modeled in AutoCAD software, and allow real-time communication with the physical system.
