Monitoring and Controlling Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems with Digital Twin and Augmented Reality

This article aims to present the experimental implementation of the integration of digital twin (DT) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, aiming to develop a human-machine interface for remote monitoring of industrial cyber-physical systems. The advantages of integrating these technologies are explored to enhance the monitoring capabilities of an operator through 3D resources in a graphical interface, seeking to achieve more immersion and interactivity. For this, the game development engine Unity 3D was used to develop the interface, and the software Blender 3D was used for modeling and animating the virtual models of the industrial process. Finally, the results and possible advances achieved with the implementation using AR and DT for supervision were analyzed.
