PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT WITH DIGITAL TWINS FOR PRODUCT GENERATION DEVELOPMENT

Abstract Digital Twins are virtual representations of a product-service-instance and, as technology, represent an important part the realization Industry 4.0. They manage data associat-ed product instance and can also have functions for simulation to achieve cost resource savings while simultaneously increasing quality. In this paper, need action implementation systematic approach returning into design is identified methodology developed answer. This realizes information management, which supports holistic flows. It de-fines necessary steps transport, starting from management up provision in design. Based on performed potential analysis identification intended uses context design, overall ap-plication focus narrowed down development new generations support requirements development. The concept structure consists Twins, mining sys-tem transformation presentation system managing provided.
