“…At a third development level, DTs are connected and shared across different actors and organizations. The simulation models underlying these IDTs become more meaningful when DTs of different actors are combined, but also when discrete or composite DTs are utilized by different actors from different perspectives (Michael et al, 2022; Redeker et al, 2021; Silva et al, 2022). IDTs enable the usage and commercialization of vast amounts of heterogeneous data across organizations in all stages of a product's life cycle from development and production to usage, service, and recycling.…”

“…The interconnection of DTs creates a single source database, which can be utilized to build shared data models for comprehensive real‐time simulations across all phases of the product and factory lifecycles (Stark, 2022). The concept of interconnected digital twins ( IDTs ) refers to a network of virtual representations of physical objects or systems (twin of twins) to communicate and exchange data across lifecycles in real time and optimize performance and decision‐making through simulation models on the system level (Redeker et al, 2021; Silva et al, 2022). IDTs serve as a central element in digital manufacturing by aggregating, integrating, and sharing data and models to enable advanced simulations throughout the product and production process lifecycle (Stark, 2022; West et al, 2021).…”

“…While being accessible to multiple players within an industrial ecosystem, IDTs allow complementors to use them in combination with their data and models to develop complementary applications. Subsequently, as part of IDTs, simulation models become more comprehensive and meaningful for managing innovation activities (Redeker et al, 2021; Silva et al, 2022; Tao et al, 2018).…”

“…However, research lacks implication on how IDTs impact the amount and quality of external knowledge inflows into the innovation process while governing the resulting openness (Michael et al, 2022; West et al, 2021). IDTs build on the idea of open data exchange between all connected entities following a platform logic (Gawer, 2014; Xu et al, 2020) to create value and drive innovation jointly (Redeker et al, 2021; Silva et al, 2022). But, data openness implies that manufacturers surrender control over their data and its resource advantages (Alexy et al, 2018).…”

Digital twins (DTs) are virtual representations of real-world entities like production assets, processes, or products. They are updated at a defined fidelity and frequency along the entire life cycle from development and engineering over the production or implementation of a product or process until its usage stage. Interconnected digital twins (IDTs) are DTs shared and connected across organizations with the objective to create holistic simulation and decision models of an entire physical system. In this paper, we investigate how IDTs shape future digital manufacturing scenarios and impact innovation management. We present the results of a real-time Delphi study, analyzing quantitative and qualitative estimates on a set of 24 projections, forecasting the future of digital manufacturing with a projection horizon towards 2030. Using this data and 22 additional use cases of IDTs in manufacturing companies, we present a baseline scenario where our Delphi panel reached a consensus, representing a likely future of digital manufacturing in 2030. By analyzing projections where our expert panels' evaluations vary widely, we identify key design decisions that may impact innovation management along the dimensions of variation, choice, and control in digital manufacturing. We explain how IDTs will impact external knowledge inflows, the emergence and governance of industrial data spaces, and the potential of data-driven and AI-enabled applications for prediction and regulation to drive better decisionmaking and continuous innovation.

“…The Rami 4.0 architecture can be understood as a reference model for implementing Industry 4.0 in a systematic, structured way (Cañas et al, 2022;Waters et al, 2022;Qureshi, Alaloul & Alzubi, 2022;Silva et al, 2023). A model is something that needs to be materialized.…”

This study aimed to evaluate some fundamental aspects of the course on Rami 4.0 architecture offered by the Campus Manaus Industrial District of IFAM. These aspects include a) the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants to compose their profile (to know the subjects discussed that were most interesting to them and those that are likely to be part of their portfolios of products and services to be offered to their applicants), b) to know the degree of satisfaction with the course, and c) what needs to be done to make the course even better. The data were collected through a mixed questionnaire, prepared and tested specifically for this purpose. The course participants conducted the survey on the right day and time. The sociodemographic results were a) the predominance of young, b) people and adults in the same proportion, c) a predominance of men, d) almost all exercising professional activity, e) the majority graduating for less than ten years, and f) less than five years of professional practice. The explanatory results were that only one had prior knowledge of Rami 4.0, the main reason for taking the course was to gain a new understanding, and the most exciting and most important subject was digital connectivity. The evaluative results satisfied the course and the need to work practically on the contents. The conclusion shows that the course achieved its intended objective: to make the Rami 4.0 architecture known to the participants.

In the evolving landscape of power transformers, the integration of advanced technologies, such as high-performance polymers obtained by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is crucial. This study investigates the compatibility and performance of various 3D-printed polymer materials—Biofila, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyphenylene Sulfone (PPSU), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherimide (ULTEM 1010), and polyetheretherketone reinforced with 20% glass fiber (PEEK-GF20) for use in power transformer components. Through oil compatibility, dielectric strength, and kerosene compatibility evaluations, the study gauges their suitability for this application. The results reveal that PPSU, PEEK, and ULTEM 1010 exhibit promising characteristics, specifically in regard to dielectric breakdown voltage and kerosene and insulating oil compatibility. In contrast, Biofila presented severe cracking when exposed to the mineral oil and PVDF and PEEK-GF20 fall short in terms of dielectric strength, rendering them unsuitable. Kerosene compatibility assessments show minimal material changes, confirming that all studied materials have good resistance to this drying agent, commonly used on power transformers. This research aims to provides essential insights into material selection for a new generation of power transformer parts.
