Work in progress: Enable digital thread and digital twin learning environment for cybermanufacturing education

Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, cybermanufacturing is an emerging technology based on digital manufacturing, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), data analytics, and high performance computing to drive the manufacturing industry optimizing productivity, product quality, and business feedback. However, the cybermanufacturing education is not addressed in the current manufacturing education knowledge model. This work-in-progress (WIP) explores how to enable digital thread and digital twin cyberlearning environment for cybermanufacturing education at Virginia State University (VSU).
