Requirements of a Digital Twin in Order Processing

We arrange the identified requirements for the Digital Twin in Order Processing in a three-level hierarchy including basic, structural, and detailed requirements. The basic requirements result from the general characteristics of a Digital Twin independent from an application or task orientation. Here, we conducted a literature analysis and expert interviews to identify the requirements of digital twins. The structural requirements (second hierarchy level) resulted from the successive refinement with application-oriented or task-oriented literature definitions. The interaction of requirements, definitions, and system context forms detailed requirements. The resulting paper of the conference titled The Digital Twin in Order Processing describes the requirements of a Digital Twin in general as well as how we specify the basic requirements down to detailed requirements, whereas the present document lists all requirements of the Digital Twin in Order Processing.     «

Environmental factors, such as the high number of product variants, increase the complexity of Order Processing. Holistic decision-making presents a challenge due to the lack of transparency in Order Processing, an inadequate data basis, and the unknown effects of decision alternatives. As a result, producing companies need a tool to support effective and efficient decision-making in Order Processing of complex production and logistics networks. Therefore, we present a Digital Twin in Order Processing at the 54th CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems. Because existing literature recommends identifying requirements as a first step and a prerequisite in implementing software, the present document provides the entire list of all identified requirements of a Digital Twin in Order Processing.      «
