Developing web-based digital twin for industrial cyber-physical systems

Modern manufacturing relies heavily on digital technologies, and the recent changes in the manufacturing environment are the reflection of the advancements in information and communication technologies. Web-based Digital Twin (WDT) will constitute the future of manufacturing giving a greater potential of process/product data interaction, where Digital Twin functions on a web browser and connects to its Physical Twin to exchange data. To this end, the research work on WDT still in the first stages. Therefore, the current paper presents a framework for developing WDT taking into account the possibility of utilising WDT for education, research and industrial applications. A case study adopted from a mini-scale assembly line is used to illustrate the proposed concept.
