Sammanfattning
Industry 4.0 has introduced new technologies aimed at revolutionizing and digitizing
the manufacturing sector. Among these, Digital Twin stands out as a leading
technology for industrial digitalization. This thesis examines the integration of Digital
Twin with an actual production system to achieve data synchronization. A
lab-scale drone factory serves as the test bed for this research. Through an extensive
literature review, the study identifies essential communication technologies and
architectures that facilitate the connection between Digital Twin and real systems.
The project’s methodologies involve developing a Digital Model, selecting a communication
protocol, establishing a connection between the Digital Model and the real
system, importing and exporting data between the Digital Twin and a server, and
verifying the control of the real system via the Digital Twin and vice versa. The
findings demonstrate that the Digital Twin can replicate and control the real system,
offering suggestions for production parameter improvements. The study concludes
by discussing the implications of future research on this thesis and detailing the
steps and advantages of integrating event log data into PlantSim
