Abstract

As the manufacturing environment becomes more complex, traditional simulation models alone are having a lot of difficulties in reflecting real-time manufacturing situations. Although the Digital Twin concept is actively discussed as an alternative to overcome theses issues, many studies are being carried out only in the product design phase. This research presents a Digital Twin-based manufacturing environment framework for applying the Digital Twin concept to the manufacturing process. Twin model that is operated in virtual space, physical system and databases describing the actual manufacturing environment, are proposed as detailed components that make up the framework. To check the applicability of proposed framework, a simple Digital Twin-based manufacturing system was simulated in a conveyor system using Arena software and Excel VBA. Experiment results have shown that the twin model is transmitted real time data from the physical system via DB and were operating in the same time unit. The Excel VBA fitted parameters defined by cycle time based on historical data that real-time and training data are being accumulated together. This study proposes operating method of digital twin model through the simple experiment examples. The results lead to the applicability of Digital twin model.

제조환경이 더욱 복잡해짐에 따라 전통적인 시뮬레이션만으로는 실시간 현장 결과를 평가하는 데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 대안으로 Digital Twin개념이 활발히 논의되고 있지만, 제품설계 단계에 국한되어 연구가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 Digital Twin개념이 생산 공정 프로세스에 적용되기 위한 Digital Twin 기반 제조환경 프레임워크를 제시하였다. 구성요소는 실제 생산환경인 물리적 시스템과 데이터베이스, 그리고 가상 시스템인 트윈 모델을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 Arena 소프트웨어와 엑셀 VBA를 활용하여 컨베이어 시스템을 대상으로 간단한 Digital Twin 기반 제조시스템을 모의실험하였다. 실험결과 트윈 모델이 실제 물리적 시스템의 실시간 데이터를 전송받아 동일한 시간단위로 작동됨을 확인하였고, 엑셀 VBA에서 축적된 실시간 데이터와 학습 데이터를 기반으로 조정된 파라미터를 생성하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 간단한 모의실험을 통해 Digital Twin 모델 구동 방법을 제안하였으며, Digital Twin 모델의 구현 가능성을 보여주었다.
