Design of a Multi-Fidelity Methodology for logistics process planning and Digital Twin integration in the early phases of product development

Abstract

The challenging task of developing a new system depending on a wide variety of parameters and applied in various scenarios with different approaches require a lot of design time and simulation for each system. This paper proposes a method for building a simulation model capable of simulating various scenarios with dynamic change of fidelity to reduce design time and facilitate a later integration within a Digital Twin by combining Digital Twin design and product design in one design method. This methodology is demonstrated in a logistics process model.
