LOGISTICS SAFETY OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18185524 titled 'LOGISTICS SAFETY OPERATIONS
The abstract describes a digital twin-based logistics operations system that utilizes a virtual environment to model physical environments and track the positions of nodes and sensors.
- Virtual environment models physical environment
- Includes virtual nodes and sensors corresponding to physical nodes and sensors
- Tracks positions of nodes in digital twin
- Uses position and sensor data for various purposes such as training machine learning models and generating warnings
- Can display real or virtual alerts when events are predicted or detected
Potential Applications: - Supply chain management - Inventory tracking - Predictive maintenance in manufacturing - Smart city infrastructure management
Problems Solved: - Lack of real-time visibility in logistics operations - Inefficient resource allocation - Inaccurate demand forecasting
Benefits: - Improved operational efficiency - Enhanced decision-making capabilities - Cost savings through optimized processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Logistics Operations with Digital Twin Technology" This technology can be applied in various industries such as e-commerce, manufacturing, transportation, and smart cities to streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.
Questions about Digital Twin Technology: 1. How does digital twin technology improve supply chain management processes? - Digital twin technology provides real-time visibility and data-driven insights that enable better decision-making and optimization of supply chain operations.
2. What are the key advantages of using digital twin technology in predictive maintenance? - By utilizing digital twin technology, organizations can proactively identify potential issues in equipment and machinery, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
Digital twin-based logistics operations are disclosed. A digital twin virtual environment models a physical environment and includes virtual nodes and virtual sensors that have corresponding physical nodes and physical sensors in the physical environment. Positions of the nodes are tracked in the digital twin. Using position data and other sensor data, the digital twin can be used to train machine learning models, label data for training, aggregate data, generate warnings, and cause a real or virtual display to be displayed when an event is predicted or determined.
