;Objective
To increase the flexibility of quality control on manufacturing lines

;Value
Introduces digital twins into the legacy manufacturing process, to bring it into alignment with post-Covid remote personnel requirements.

;The Solution
This showcase replicates a real manufacturing line and its components, in the following sequence:
*An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which sends the order to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES). The MES launches the manufacturing process, including a conveyer that moves parts and a remote-controlled robot.
*A remote operator decides if the part is valid, viewing a live camera image over 5G, and the robot finishes the manufacturing process.
*A Data Acquisition Module communicates with the elements of the manufacturing line to store relevant traceability and process data at a High-Performance Computer (HPC).
*This data feeds an Assets Administration Shell (AAS) based digital representation of the line elements that are the input for the twin. The twin, including the dashboard, is deployed in a virtual environment viewed by AR goggles.

;Digital Twin Role
*Provides a digital replica of the manufacturing cell, enabling manipulation and quality control inspection of manufacturing cells using Virtual Reality.
*Tracks energy efficiency, performance metrics, and maintainability of the manufacturing line

;Virtual Reality Inspection

A digital twin of the manufacturing cell is created using
Oculus VR and deployed in a virtual environment, enabling
real-time quality control.

;Machine Learning Analysis

Process elements are measured and examined via the
digital twin and passed onto machine learning technologies
to provide actionable insights.
Benefits & Results
The outcomes of the showcase are:
*A digital twin of the manufacturing cell that can be manipulated and inspected.
*A realistic demonstrator that includes real-time remote operators.
*Improvements required in the post-Covid manufacturing world, notably operator location flexibility.
