Abstract

Dynamic and modular factory layouts enable manufacturers to more easily adapt their factory layouts, allowing for quick adjustments to manufacturing processes in response to changing customer preferences. These physical changes in production layout and processes necessitate updates to the control logic of manufacturing modules. Simultaneous Over-the-Air (OTA) updates facilitate rapid and remote changes in control logic, eliminating the need for control engineers to be physically present at the factory site. Additionally, OTA updates enable the control logic of all production modules (e.g., machines) to be updated simultaneously, without the need to manually update each production element individually. This paper demonstrates how a digital twin can enable simultaneous OTA updates of the control logic of production modules, using an Industry 4.0 learning laboratory based on Fischertechnik as an example. We utilized the Unity Engine to create the digital twin and employed the SUIT module of RIOT-OS to update the physical production system, while tracking the manufacturing process through CoAP messages.
