Abstract

Digital shadows in industrial IT environments are virtual copies of production or manufacturing processes based on historical or real-time data obtained from physical sensors, control or automation systems. There is only one-way interaction between the shadowed process and its virtual copy, which differentiates a digital shadow from a digital twin exchanging the data in both directions. For many industrial applications, however, building a digital shadow using historical data is a sufficient, but quite challenging, task requiring the deployment of the entire data analytics pipeline.

The presented paper demonstrates how machine learning and some related AI-based approaches can assist in develo** and effective usage of intelligent IT applications. Thermal spray coating has been chosen as a use-case for demonstrating the applicability and feasibility of the chosen methodology for enhancing the operation of an industrial IT system supporting the coating process. The outcome of a comparative experimental studies demonstrated that artificial neural networks provide the most robust, versatile and generalisable technique for engineering data analytics in the chosen problem domain.
