The Data Centric Architecture of a Factory Digital Twin
process behavior . This data gets cleaned and validated in a goal-oriented way by comparing FDT predictions with known process behavior .
Process measurements over time can be used to fine tune the FDT . Process predictions are made which can be used to improve the model , the physical process , or both . Guess work about proposed process changes is replaced by FDT predictions and data analytics . In short , the development and routine use of an FDT can induce a data driven culture and improvement process .
