Digital Process Twin

Definition

A Digital Process Twin is a virtual representation of a specific production process that uses real-time data to simulate, analyze, and optimize operations. Unlike a complete digital twin, it focuses on individual processes.

Benefits

• Optimization: Identification of bottlenecks and inefficiencies in real-time.

• Flexibility: Testing process changes without production interruptions.

• Transparency: Detailed insights into process parameters and performance.

Applications

Used in the chemical and automotive industries, for example, to optimize production lines or material flows. Integrated with Manufacturing Execution Systems for precise control.
