Visualising the digital twin using web services and augmented reality

As the number of network connected devices in an industrial system increases, the management and handling of all the information generated become a challenge. In this work we explore concepts of Cyber-Physical System model the virtual part of industrial devices (sensor, machines, CLPs) using the Digital Twin concept and propose an architecture based on web services for accessing their data. We present a case study where an Augmented Reality system access the Twin Model data via web services and display real-time information to the user. Moreover, we present a review of how the involved concepts, which have a strong computational background, relate to industrial applications and how they can expand the possibility of services and business models.
