A Digital Process Twin for Manufacturing - Bringing the Process Into Focus

This study is currently in progress and will be finished by the end of the year!

The image features a futuristic digital interface titled "Digital Process Twin," displaying various manufacturing processes. In the center, a metallic component, resembling a precision tool, is highlighted against a soft blue background layered with schematic diagrams and icons. On the right side, a CNC milling machine is visually depicted, emitting a sparkling blue aura of digital particles, suggesting active operation. The machine's structure is metallic gray with detailed mechanical elements. The background features blurred lights, adding to the high-tech ambiance. Small icons illustrate steps such as "Milling," "Data Modeling," and "Prototyping," interconnected by arrows and lines in a sleek, modern style. Overall, the composition conveys a sense of advanced manufacturing technology.
