Abstract:
The Industrial Metaverse (IM) is an upcoming topic for companies and offers new possibilities to digitalize and optimize their business processes together with AI capabilities. In the production domain, the Industrial Metaverse is a step towards the vision of predicting factory behavior for optimization purposes. A central challenge is a complete factory model necessary as the base to predict its behavior. Therefore, the IM approach is promising to build and contain this model out of available single Digital Twins of factory parts. Consequently, an IT target landscape is required to build an Industrial Metaverse for Digital Twins. This paper evaluates different design pattern options for an industrial IT architecture reference implementation of an IM that companies can use in current IT landscapes. It also proposes a high-level roadmap towards the proposed target IT architecture of an IM.
