Abstract

The concept of digital shadows helps to move from handling large amounts of heterogeneous data in production to the handling of task- and context-dependent aggregated data sets supporting a specific purpose. Current research lacks further investigations of characteristics digital shadows may have when they are applied to different levels of the automation pyramid. Within this paper, we describe the application of the digital shadow concept for two use cases in injection molding, namely geometry-dependent process configuration, and optimal production planning of jobs on an injection molding machine. In detail, we describe the creation process of digital shadows, relevant data needs for the specific purpose, as well as relevant models. Based on their usage, we describe specifics of their characteristics and discuss commonalities and differences. These aspects can be taken into account when creating digital shadows for further use cases.

数字阴影的概念有助于从处理生产中的大量异构数据转向处理支持特定目的的、与任务和上下文相关的聚合数据集。目前的研究缺乏对数字阴影应用于自动化金字塔不同层次时可能具有的特征的进一步研究。在本文中，我们介绍了数字阴影概念在注塑成型领域两个使用案例中的应用，即与几何形状相关的流程配置和注塑成型机上作业的优化生产计划。我们详细描述了数字阴影的创建过程、特定用途的相关数据需求以及相关模型。根据其用途，我们描述了它们的具体特点，并讨论了它们的共性和差异。在为其他使用案例创建数字阴影时，可以考虑这些方面。
