Abstract:
The notion of sustainability is gaining more attention across the whole world, thereby serving as a predictor of future economic gain. Emerging technologies like Digital Twins (DT) could help meet Circular Economy objectives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Although using a framework to develop DT is widespread, it is often not directly suited to answer the information requirement that the stakeholders desire fully. Shortcomings in design are therefore discovered to late when the concept of the Twin is already implemented. As such, this paper aims to provide a requirement-based framework for designing a sustainable Digital Twin that satisfies several parties involved in its conception and use. The proposed framework is therefore designed on the one hand to filter out the most valuable information requests for the stakeholders. On the other hand, the design requests are turned in the design phase to recommendations for the outlaying of the architectural implementation. This is shown as an example application for an e-bike with different stakeholders involved. Therefore, the use case features five different stakeholder groups with their own information request to show how these influence the final setup of such a twin. The proposed framework lays the path for improving the current lifecycle assessment while ensuring the optimization of Digital Twin design flexibility and therefore its application for a variety of different products.
