Development of the Digital Twin System for Four-Axis Suction and Circular Conveyor Transport

With the rapid development of 5G technology, digital twins and Industry 5.0 have become hot focal points in the manufacturing sector. A digital twin is a technology that fully utilizes models, data, and intelligence, integrating multidisciplinary knowledge. It serves the entire product lifecycle and acts as a bridge between the physical and information worlds, providing more real-time, efficient, and intelligent services. This study focuses on the implementation pathways and construction framework of digital twin-controlled robotic arms. Relying on an intelligent factory assembly line experimental device, we have built an experimental system for digital twin robotic arms in intelligent assembly, which includes the physical robotic arm device and its virtual counterpart. The study also elaborates on the significant role of digital twin robotic arms in advancing the manufacturing industry. Through the digital twin platform, we can achieve visual management of the entire production line operation, thereby gaining deeper insights into the actual conditions of the production line and quickly identifying and resolving issues.
