Virtual Prototyping of LED Applications through Multi-Domain Models of LED Packages: The “Industry 4. 0”-Like Approach of the Delphi4LED Project

Abstract

In the Industry 4.0 era digitalization of design and manufacturing processes takes place. The aim of the Delphi4LED H2020 ECSEL R&D project of the EU (www.delphi4LED.org) is to trigger such a transition in the solid-state lighting industry by developing testing and modelling methodologies aimed at multidomain characterization of LED based products at different levels of integration along the SSL supply chain. In this paper we describe our approaches to creating the appropriate “digital twins” of LED packages, modules and luminaires to be used in virtual prototypes applied in different system level design tasks.
