DigitalTwin

Project Description

This project is a Digital Twin representation of a Factory. It has the following components -

1. Building
2. 2 Factory Floors
3. 10 Robotic Palletizers, 5 on each floor

Each Robotic Palletizer has 6 components. Each component has their own individual properties.

Let's refer to these components and their individual properties -

1. Robotic Arm

It has the following properties -

a. Robotic Arm ID : A unique identifier assigned to each robotic arm for identification.

b. Robotic Arm Status : Indicates the current operational state of the robotic arm, whether it is active or idle.

c. Robotic Arm Power Consumption : The amount of electrical power consumed by the robotic arm during its operation.

d. Robotic Arm Operating Speed : The speed at which the robotic arm performs its tasks, determining the velocity of its movements.

e. Robotic Arm Load Capacity : The current weight or load that the robotic arm is carrying.

2. Conveyor Belt

It has the following properties -

a. Conveyor Belt Speed : The rate at which the conveyor belt moves, determining the speed of material or objects being transported.

3. Light Curtain Sensor

It has the following properties -

a. Beam Resolution : The level of detail or granularity in the light curtain sensor's detection, influencing its precision.

b. Detection Range : The maximum distance over which the light curtain sensor can detect objects or interruptions in the beam.

4. Pallet Turn Table

It has the following properties -

a. Pallet TurnTable Rotation Speed : The speed at which the pallet turn table rotates.

5. Door

It has the following properties -

a. Door - Last Accessed Time : The timestamp indicating the most recent time the door was accessed or opened.

b. Door Status : The current state of the door, such as "Open" or "Closed".

6. Pallet Stretch Machine

It has the following properties -

a. Plastic Wrapping Speed : The speed at which the pallet stretch machine wraps plastic around the pallet.

b. Pallet Stretch Machine Film Roll Status : Indicates whether the film roll used for wrapping is available or needs replacement.

c. Pallet Stretch Machine Wrapping Film Usage : The amount of wrapping film consumed by the pallet stretch machine during operations.

During a live project demonstration, real-time data changes are reflected on Unity 3D.
