The IoT-environment is illustrated as below.
The Lean Training center
The Lean Traning center is operated by and organised as a pedalcar factory. The factory is based on the participants' improvement work while assembling and quality assuring pedalcars in an assembly line.
Digital Twin environment
The physical lab environment, including the production logistics lab, the hallway including elevator as well as the pedal car factory, has been 3D scanned and imported to a digital model, together with CAD elements of equipment and products. This digital model is real-time connected with the physical environment, creating a digital twin representation.
The digital twin environment is presented in the movie below.
