TY - JOUR AU1 - Canedo, Arquimedes AB - Industrial IoT Lifecycle via Digital Twins [Extended Abstract] Arquimedes Canedo Siemens Corporate Technology arquimedes.canedo@siemens.com ABSTRACT Currently, the IoT discussion is focused primarily on the operational phase. This includes how a IoT device behaves, operates, communicates, and interacts with other IoT devices during operation. However, IoT devices and systems have other lifecycle phases before and after operation. This extended abstract provides an overview of how other IoT lifecycle phases (e.g., design and service) can be improved with information feedback and feedforward flows between them. Digital Twins are a new mechanism to manage IoT devices and IoT systems-of-systems throughout their lifecycle. We present our vision on the industrial IoT lifecycle managed and optimized at scale via Digital Twins. subgraph represents a person, "John Doe", and its nodes and edges hold his identity, health records, agenda, etc. Notice that there is an edge connecting "John" to the car "T37BTT", and this may represent, for example, that "John is currently driving the T37BTT car". As soon as John arrives to his destination and turns off his car, this "driving" edge will disappear from the graph. Note that although the graph changes, all transactions are being recorded by the underlying middleware for further TI - Industrial IoT lifecycle via digital twins DA - 2016-10-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/association-for-computing-machinery/industrial-iot-lifecycle-via-digital-twins-it4N7skXkk DP - DeepDyve ER -
