Abstract

Virtual prototyping (VP) technologies promise a viable solution to handle challenges in shorter product and production lifecycles and higher complexity. In this paper, we present the demonstration, and preliminary evaluation of the previously introduced digital twin (DT) based virtual factory (VF) concept for VP in the context of new product introduction (NPI) processes. The concept is demonstrated in two cases: blade manufacturing and nacelle assembly operations Vestas Wind Systems A/S. The preliminary evaluation results show that DT based integrated VF simulations provide immersive virtual environments, which allow users to manage complex product and production systems and significant cost savings. Finally, we present and discuss the evaluation of the concept demonstration by industry experts for the proposed solution.
