Requisition Number: 76139 Application Deadline:

In the domain of automation systems, we are doing research on the application of various kinds of digital twins (DT). The goal of your work will be to create an overview of these DT’s as a basis for further work and publications. The first step will be to study different types and implementations of DT’s, which are used in our projects, but also in the industry or in research. Besides You will document basic information as well as your findings (e.g., advantages and disadvantages, application area, etc.) in order to create a comprehensive overview of DT’s. A second step will be to develop concepts on how to apply and implement these technologies on industrial use cases, in order to provide guidance for potential customers. When necessary, this will be done in collaboration with the researchers of the department.
