Integration of data-driven and model-based engineering in future industrial technology
The Dutch Digital Twin and Twinning programme

University of Groningen
Abstract: The development of reliable and agile digital twins of physical high-tech systems and materials is key to enabling shorter time-to-market, zero-defect & flexible manufacturing systems with accurate predictive maintenance. This requires the synergy between model-based engineering and data-driven/artificial intelligence approaches. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the Dutch TTW Perspectief programme on DIGITAL TWIN that investigates the integration of data-driven approaches and advances in model-based control and decision based systems in high-tech systems. A number of use-cases will be presented.
