A Framework Providing a Basis for Data Integration in Virtual Production

Abstract

The development of the framework presented in this chapter can be regarded as an important step in the establishment of digital production, as the framework allows a holistic, step-by-step simulation of a production process by making use of specialized tools. Both, data losses as well as manual, time-consuming data transmissions from one tool to another are excluded by this approach. The suggested framework facilitates the linking of simulation tools, which were, “until now", developed independently from each other and which are specialized for certain production processes or methods, too. Furthermore, the integration of 548 Numerical Simulations of Physical and Engineering Processes data generated in the course of the simulation is realized in a unified and process-oriented way.
