摘要：Internal logistics processes are becoming ever more important and increasingly complex. Digital Twins allow flexible response and operational control for internal logistics processes, based on current data. Therefore, Digital Twins are a good tool of choice. The paper in hand presents a framework for Digital Twins, including different layers and possible service functions. Individual components are assigned to the services, and the relationships between the components are described in detail. The usage of the proposed framework has already been tested in planning as well as evaluated by implementation of a Digital Process Twin for on-time delivery optimization. The main benefit of the proposed framework is structural guidance during planning, through a high-level overview of technology components. Finally, the future implementation of additional functions containing Artificial Intelligence is discussed.
