Generative assistant for digital twin simulations

Abstract

One of the key emerging technologies in Industry 4.0 is the Digital Twin (DT). Although it promises increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation, its adoption faces challenges such as high investment costs and the need for workforce requalification. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) emerges as a promising solution, offering capabilities to accelerate development processes and reduce costs. This study aims to leverage GAI to enhance the development of DT and support decision-making in industrial environments by proposing a Generative Assistant for Digital Twin Simulations (GADTS). This proposal generates operational models quickly, offers greater customization, and facilitates the creation of efficient scenario simulations in natural language. The proposal was tested with artificial data. As a result, the development of highly personalized DT simulations with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) was entirely abstracted into natural language requests.
