Enabling Industry 4.0 approach in Multi-Messenger Astronomy experiments

Industry 4.0, based on digitisation and in tight connection to the Internet of the Thing, represents a reference paradigm that can significantly improve the efficiency and productivity in the construction of large experimental infrastructures for science. In this work we propose a methodology based on integrated hybrid systems which combine digital twins of physical phenomena and hardware components with parts of real apparatuses made of sensors, actuators and software implementations. The peculiarity of the proposed methodology is the orchestration approach which leverages the concept of Virtual Commissioning which allows the design, test and realisation of an infrastructure by means of synergic advancements of virtual representation and the actual implementation.
