The Industry 4.0 program provides for the straightthrough digitalization of all physical as-sets and their integration into the digital ecosystem together with partners involved in the value-added chain. Cyber-physical integration is an important prerequisite for smart manufacturing. Also, the transfer of control and decision-making functions to intelligent systems and algorithms lead to a change in the paradigm of technological development of enterprises. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) and digital twins (DT) are the preferred means of such integration. DT are a software analogue of a physical device or process that models the behavior of a phys-ical object under the influence of interference and disturbances, as well as the environment and the human factor. DT creates high-quality virtual models of physical objects in virtual space to simulate their behavior in the real world and provide feedback.
How do You think in which processes and operations it is possible to reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency by introducing "Digital Twin" technology?
