Digital Twin towards zero-defects manufacturing (ZDM) and circular economy

Research Project, 2020 – 2021

Digital Twins are virtual models of a process or product that digitally reproduce with maximum accuracy the behaviour and performance of their real version to which it is twinned. In this project, digital twins of producton processes, and assets will be developed and used to solve specific problems of machine tool builders and end users. TWINGOALS will impact at machine tool manufacturers (which will benefit from its applicaton during design, engineering, commissioning, maintenance, and servicing of machines) and end users (more concerned about the machine operaton, partcularly the creaton and verificaton of reliable CNC programs and proper maintenance strategies).
The main outcomes of the project will be the TWINGOALS modules developed within WP4, a feasibility study (2020) which will consider the eco-labelling or the EU environmental technology verificaton (ETV), and the exploitaton plan (2021) which will be carried out within WP5, in order to define the market strategy.
