Digital Twins for increased Sustainability in Manufacturing

AAS and FMI for Robotic Production Modules

Abstract

To enhance the sustainability of robotic production
modules, energy consumption and carbon emission should be considered during the design and the production planning phase. Virtual Commissioning (VC) of robotic
production modules must therefore be equipped with sustainability parameters to allow the selection of the optimal robot and the mounted technology for a given production task during the early phases. The approach
of integrating sustainability analytics and optimization based on standards during the design of production modules enables increased sustainability in robotic manufacturing.
