Digital Twin Consortium Signs Liaison with Open Industry 4.0 Alliance

The Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) announced a liaison agreement with the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance.  The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance joined the DTC to exchange information and bring digitalization and collaboration to the next level.

The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance functions as a collaborative consortium of prominent industrial companies actively involved in deploying cross-vendor Industry 4.0 solutions and services for manufacturing facilities and automated warehouses. Within industry and technology working groups, subject matter experts conceive practical scenarios and put them into practice using the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance reference architecture. These solutions, alongside detailed implementation instructions, are disseminated within the community and made accessible to parties beyond the Alliance.

The two groups have agreed to the following:

1. Realizing interoperability by harmonizing technology components and other elements

2. Aligning work in Digital Twin Consortium Capabilities and Technology for adoption within vertical domains through proof of value projects and use cases, including:

• Composable and Architectural Frameworks

• Advanced Capabilities and Technology showcases

• Security and Trustworthiness applications

• Conceptual, informational, structural, and behavioral models

• Enabling technologies such as AR, VR, AI, and other advancements

• Case study development from initial concept through operational analysis

The DTC and Open Industry 4.0 Alliance will exchange information through regular consultations, seminars, and training development vehicles.
