DATA INTEROPERABILITY IN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN REAL AND DIGITAL MEASURING TWIN .

Abstract

The development of computer technologies and software packages, along with their increasingly advanced capabilities, has brought forth new requirements in the field of coordinate metrology. As an essential response to the challenges of modern production and measurement approaches, the concept of the digital twin has emerged and is actively evolving. This concept is becoming increasingly significant in the industry, enabling the monitoring, control, and simulation of measurement as well as inspection of objects or processes within a digital environment. Integration within the industrial context opens doors to novel methods of analysis, optimization, and management of production systems. The contribution offered by this study lies in addressing the issue of interoperability between output data obtained from physical coordinate measuring machines (.dms) and output data derived from inspection process simulations (.ncl) on virtual machines. This constitutes a pivotal part of the communication process between the virtual and real twins. The approach is grounded in the identification of key parameters and analysis of the structure of generated DMIS file codes originating from PTC Creo software and PC-DMIS software for real machines. The findings of this research contribute to the development of efficient tools for analysis, processing, and translation of codes for communication between the virtual and real components of digital twins. This provides a foundation for semantic understanding of their structure, precise communication, and broader application across industries. The development of this interoperable model serves to advance towards the goal of enabling the direct implementation of obtained simulation code on coordinate measuring machines (CMM). Such implementation in an on-line and, crucially, real-time mode would facilitate the interconnection of diverse digital twins, realizing the potential for integration within complex technological systems.
