Plant Reliability, Safety, Sustainability with Digital Twin (AI)

The concept of digital transformation with ‘Digital Twin’sis about creating a digital representation of physical assets of a plant with 3D Intelligent model creation (governed by PDS, PDMS, SP, AUTOCAD, STAD, CAE and CAM software), as well as the enterprise and product lifecycle data management applications(SAP, WRENCH, project lifecycle/data management-CMMS and other software). This will be supported by AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms and adoption of IIoT (Internet of Things), smartsensors, which help in providing an integrated understanding of the production cycle. This Operational Twin correlates and threads real time streaming IOT data together with all other inputs, which eventually creates a dynamic virtual representation of the entire plant, which will give full visibility of the multi-layered interdependencies among asset, processes and operations. This will give insight into the complete manufacturing analytics and predictive analysis of the asset but also enables in quickly running through the historian data, with the objective of achieving plant safety, reliability and Sustainability.
