Description

This paper is about the general structure of a Digital Control Twin (DCT) Model to regulate production, transportation, and handling of material flow items. At first the basic elements of the general structure and the functionality is described by special terms to achieve a common understanding about the general concept and for a easier discussion of future research. Based on this general approach the elements of a specific DCT-Model for production and material flow processes is explained in more detail. This specific DCT-Model could be a platform for a future ERP-System, especially of material requirement planning as the core module. Then some restrictions and limitations of this specific DCT-Model are treated in short. At the end a short resume and conclusion for further research is made.
