DTaaS for Users

User Guide

This guide is for users of the DTaaS platform. Please make sure that you have access to a live installation of the DTaaS platform. The easiest is localhost installation scenario.

Please see user-specific Slides and Video to get the conceptual framework behind composable digital twins in the DTaaS platform.

Motivation

How can DT software platforms enable users collaborate to:

  • Build digital twins (DTs)
  • Use DTs themselves
  • Share DTs with other users
  • Provide the existing DTs as Service to other users

In addition, how can the DT software platforms:

  • Support DT lifecycle
  • Scale up rather than scale down (flexible convention over configuration)

Existing Approaches

There are quite a few solutions proposed in the recent past to solve this problem. Some of them are:

  • Focus on data from Physical Twins (PTs) to perform analysis, diagnosis, planning etc…
  • Share DT assets across the upstream, downstream etc….
  • Evaluate different models of PT
  • DevOps for Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
  • Scale DT / execution of DT / ensemble of related DTs
  • Support for PT product lifecycle

Our Approach

  • Support for transition from existing workflows to DT frameworks
  • Create DTs from reusable assets
  • Enable users to share DT assets
  • Offer DTs as a Service
  • Integrate the DTs with external software systems
  • Separate configurations of independent DT components
