Abstract

We develop a software platform architecture for the integration of heterogeneous software applications in the process industries, ranging from physical simulation models to data-driven AI applications and visualizations. Digital twins play a key role in this architecture, providing harmonised interfaces to a diverse set of data sources, based on a domain-specific data model rooted in standard ontologies. We investigate the applicability of existing standards and open-source software, demonstrating on the one hand their immense potential for software-based innovations in the process industries, but also highlighting some shortcomings and the need for further developments. Finally, a concrete implementation and data model for the production of steel long products is presented.
