POSSIBILITIES OF USING DIGITAL SHADOWS IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS OF TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT

Abstract

The emergence of the fourth industrial revolution was made possible by the emergence and rapid spread of cyberphysical systems. One of the major developments of this era was the digital twin model. The digital twin is not just a 3D model or a simple simulation. It can be used to create a real-time model of the observed physical element that collects environmental data using sensors and can also predict the failure of a product based on the information provided. If the system has actuators, we are also able to feed back the change in the virtual model to the physical reality. Closely related to the modern digital model is the digital shadow, which collects data in the same way as the twin, but feedback to physical reality has not been implemented. In the dissertation, an initial concept is presented, which describes the application possibilities of digital shadow in terms of the procurement process of new technologies (stations, machines).
