Virtual Manufacturing: Virtual digital twin and digitalization of tools and methods for transforming to Industry 4.0
The vision and goal for Virtual Manufacturing (VM) are to create a digital platform called Virtual digital Twin (VT). The base of the platform will be a digital twin of a factory or office.
The VT platform will be used for improvement projects, maintenance, machine relocations, value stream mapping, tracking system – RTLS, inventory control, monitoring and management of factories. Furthermore, VT is expected to generate benefit for sales, site improvements, factories overview, product development, process development, management monitoring etc. VT will be connected to all kinds of systems and be the holder of information. The goal is also to do the daily work easier by creating methods and tools for digitalization in the transformation to Industry 4.0.
Field of subject for the position: Computer science or mechanical/industrial engineering (with software knowledge), or equivalent.
