DIGITAL TWINS: CPS Deploy & Forget summary report

DIGITAL TWINS 2 (Digital Twins in the transition to Industry 4.0) is a research project developed by ITI (Instituto Tecnológico de Informática), funded by the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER). The general objective of the project is to advance in the definition, modeling and construction of Digital Twins in the framework of Industry 4.0, and demonstrate the new dimension of tools and services that can be built on them to improve their transferability and application in the Valencian Community industry. To reach this objective, new technologies will be developed to overcome the main technological barriers: the hyper-digitisation in plant, and the massive data manipulation. The following document shows the progress achieved in the definition of the “CPS deploy & forget” architecture as a digitalization platform. The main objectives have been focused on improving the robustness and security of communication systems, using a newly advertising mechanism and different security levels, from physical security to different encryption mechanisms. New functionalities to integrate energy flows have been developed to improve the energy efficiency.DIGITAL TWINS.
