The second transnational meeting of the DiTwin project was held on November 14–15, 2024, in Krakow. During the event, project partners reviewed progress, discussed achievements, and laid the groundwork for future advancements in technical training powered by Digital Twins.
Progress Achieved
Significant milestones have been reached, including:
1. Competence Framework: Finalized, outlining key roles and skills required for Industry 4.0.
2. Specialized Training Modules: Developed for three critical professional profiles:
– Additive Manufacturing Technician
– Robot Machines Technician
– Automation Technician for Industry 4.0
The meeting included practical demonstrations showcasing the use of Digital Twins to simulate industrial machinery and integrate them with real-world devices.
The DiTwin Modules
The primary goal of the DiTwin modules is to equip students with the skills necessary to thrive in Industry 4.0 using Digital Twins, digital replicas of physical systems connected to educational laboratories. This innovative approach provides an immersive and hands-on learning experience.
Target Professional Profiles
The training pathways are tailored to meet the demands of three key roles:
– Additive Manufacturing Technician: Specializing in 3D printing technologies and additive design.
– Automation Technician: Focused on industrial automation and machine programming.
– Robot Machines Technician: Proficient in robotics programming and maintenance.
Key Features of the DiTwin Approach
– Simulation-Based Training: Allowing students to practice safely in virtual environments.
– Digital-Physical Integration: Connecting virtual and real machines to provide practical, hands-on training.
This educational approach creates a synergy between theory and practice, preparing future technicians to meet the challenges of an increasingly digitalized and interconnected industrial world.
