A Virtual Twin is a digital replica of a physical product, system, or process that mimics its behavior, performance, and characteristics in real-time. It's a virtual model that mirrors the physical counterpart, enabling simulation, analysis, and prediction of its behavior.

Key characteristics:

1. Bi-directional data flow: The virtual twin receives data from the physical twin and sends data back to update the physical twin.

2. Real-time synchronization: The virtual twin reflects the physical twin's behavior and changes in real-time.

Robot Details: OMRON Viper 650 Articulated Robot 

Process followed:

• Modeled robot in 3DExperience CATIA and defined kinematics in Delmia Equipment Design application.
• Programmed robot tasks in Delmia Virtual Commissioning application.
• Connected hardware to Sysmac Studio, generating variables of the PLC and saving it on the Open platform communication (OPC).
• Integrated Sysmac Studio with ControlBuild, enabling data exchange through mapped variables.
• ControlBuild connected to Delmia via FMU's, facilitating real-time simulation and synchronization.

Outcome:

When variables are activated in Sysmac Studio, the hardware moves and the motion is mirrored in Delmia simulation. Conversely, when the virtual model is simulated in Delmia, the hardware syncs and moves in tandem, creating a seamless Virtual twin.
