Deogratias Kibira, Guodong Shao, Rishabh Venketesh, Matthew Triebe
Developing digital twins for manufacturing applications is challenging due to insufficient modeling frameworks and standardized procedures. As a result, the number of successful digital twin implementations has not caught up with the increasing literature

Data Requirements for a Digital Twin of a Robot Workcell

February 1, 2024
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Guodong Shao
The applications of digital twins continue to grow with the volume and variety of data collected. These data support the modeling of function, behavior, and structure of a physical element. However, successfully building a digital twin requires data

Maintenance and Operations of Manufacturing Digital Twins

December 13, 2023
Author(s)
Alp Akcay, Stephan Biller, Boon Ping Gan, Christoph Laroque, Guodong Shao
Digital twins have become an important element in smart manufacturing. As any other product, digital twins also have a lifecycle, starting from specifying the requirements of the digital twins until their decommissioning. As part of the Manufacturing and

Physical Component Libraries for SysPhS Modeling and Simulation in Manufacturing

October 10, 2023
Author(s)
Charles Manion, Conrad Bock, Raphael Barbau
Computer-interpretable representations of system structure and behavior are at the center of developing today's complex systems. Systems engineers create and review these representations using graphical languages and information models that capture

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ONTOLOGY STANDARDS AND THEIR APPLICABILITY TO BIOMANUFACTURING

July 14, 2023
Author(s)
Milos Drobnjakovic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Simon P. Frechette, Vijay Srinivasan
ISO and IEC have jointly initiated, and recently issued, a series of standards (the ISO/IEC 21838 series) for top-level ontologies. These standards have been used by industrial consortia to develop and disseminate standards for mid-level ontologies to ease

Current challenges and recent advances on the path towards continuous biomanufacturing

Laetitia Monnier, Guodong Shao, Sebti Foufou
The technological advancement has led to the transition of manufacturing industries to Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Promising concepts such as Digital Twin and Digital Thread could help speed up the transition. One of the benefits of using digital

Fronesis: Digital Forensics-Based Early Detection of Ongoing Cyber-Attacks

December 30, 2022
Author(s)
Athanasios Dimitriadis, Efstratios Lontzetidis, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Dimitris Gritzalis, Ioannis Mavridis
Traditional attack detection approaches utilize predefined databases of known signatures about already-seen tools and malicious activities observed in past cyber-attacks to detect future attacks. More sophisticated approaches apply machine learning to

Architecture Definition in Complex System Design Using Model Theory

October 4, 2022
Author(s)
Charles Dickerson, Michael Wilkenson, Eugenie Hunsicker, Siyuan Ji, Mole Li, Yves Bernard, Graham Bleakley, Peter O. Denno
Architecture Definition, which is central to system design, is one of the two most used technical processes in the practice of model-based systems engineering. In this paper a fundamental approach to architecture definition is presented and demonstrated
