Abstract:
The Digital Model concept of factory floor equipment allows simulation, visualization and processing, and the ability to communicate between the various workstations. The Digital Twin is the concept used for the digital representation of equipment on the factory floor, capable of collecting a set of data about the equipment and production, using physical sensors installed in the equipment. Within the scope of data visualization and processing, there is a need to manage information about parameters/conditions that the assembly line equipments must present to start a production order, or in a shift handover. This study proposes a paperless checklist to manage equipment information and monitor production ramp-up. The proposed solution is validated in a real-world industrial scenario, by comparing its suitability against the current paper-based approach to log information. Results show that the paperless checklist presents advantages over the current approach since it enables multi-acces
s viewing and logging while maintaining a digital history of log changes for further analysis.
