Digital twin of crane robot

Abstract: The creation of digital twins has been on a rise in the last years, and digital twins are becoming an essential part in today's industries. To be able to keep up, the engineering students at Högskolan i Halmstad need to follow and explore the current development. The goal with this project is to introduce digital twins to the students and give them a wider knowledge about the future of manufacturing.In this project a digital twin was developed from a physical crane. The digital twin was made from a CAD model and was imported into a simulator to replicate the physical robot and its parts. The digital twin had virtual sensors installed and may be considered a cyber-physical system.
