Abstract

Despite the considerable advances that industrial manufacturing has undergone as a result of digitalization, the real-time monitoring of assembly processes continues to present a significant technical challenge. This article presents a solution to this problem by integrating digital twin technology with radio frequency identification (RFID) in order to improve the monitoring and optimization of assembly processes. The objective of this research is to develop a methodology that ensures synchronized data exchange between physical components and their digital counterparts using RFID for improved visibility and accuracy. The methodology entails the configuration of radio frequency identification systems to track the positions of products on conveyor belts, thereby facilitating real-time monitoring and the prompt detection of any deviations. This integration enhances remote monitoring capabilities and markedly optimizes assembly processes in comparison to traditional methods. The research findings suggest that this approach offers real-time data and monitoring capabilities, which can contribute to improved operational efficiency. This study presents an introduction to digital twins and RFID technology, a review of related research, a detailed methodology, an implementation plan, results and analysis, a discussion of the findings, and conclusions with future recommendations. This article presents a comprehensive discussion of the configuration of an RFID-based digital twin for an assembly line, highlighting the benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies into industrial processes.
