RESEARCH PROJECT OVERVIEW
Digital twins are models of systems, and they are used by manufacturing engineers to build state-of-the-art industrial facilities, train the workforce, and extrapolate possible adjustments to system components. To meet this objective, developers have translated results from the field of transportation into the field of manufacturing. Some of this has been started as there are a few published articles exploring this concept previously and reviews of the history have been catalogued. Others have developed digital twins for social and gaming applications. This project will identify the most basic design requirements for low-cost digital twins in manufacturing workforce training, demonstrating feasibility on equipment at the Clemson Composites Center. The search for low-cost options will start with evaluation of the Unreal Engine (UE5), 3D software that has been highly leveraged by gaming developers for the development of systems like Minecraft™.
