Digital Twin - a digital twin for production control
Advanced scheduling, statistical analysis and production forecasting. Introducing the digital twin of your factory.

Artificial intelligence and IoT
Today's production hall is the meeting place of modern technology.
Strategic decisions are worth supporting with artificial intelligence algorithms with the help of the Internet of Things.
From sensors that measure every aspect of machine operation, to intelligent algorithms that suggest the best solution to problems that arise during production.
The flow of information related to processes should be instantaneous in order to be able to adjust production parameters in real time to the events taking place on the shop floor. Their analysis should be automated, suggesting the best off-the-shelf solutions to managers.

Digital Twin concept
Digital Twin is a faithful digital reflection of reality in a selected area. In the case of the Digit.IO Factory system, it is a reflection of the production process
Our system consists of an invisible but crucial backend layer and a visual representation of the production floor, which is also the user interface.
By applying this concept, it is possible to simulate alternative production scenarios in such a way as to select the best possible one, without the need for real-world testing under production conditions. In this way, digital twin enables process and cost optimization. Using it avoids the risk of implementing solutions that will not work.

Transparent manufacturing
Wanting to control every detail, even the smallest, affecting the speed and efficiency of the production process, it is necessary to reach for the powerful possibilities offered by technology.
This effect will be achieved by supervising devices from the automation area such as sensors, readers and other measuring devices that analyze production processes autonomously and without human involvement. It is also important to keep an eye on the work of operators who operate production machinery. The digital twin allows you to test your solutions in practice, not just on paper. In this way you can, even before their final implementation, learn about the effects, challenges, costs, which will help you avoid misguided investments that project not only the budget, but also the image.
Modern technology allows:
Technologies, schedules, control.
The basis of the Digit.IO Factory system is the production schedule, supporting the manufacture of specific products.
Scheduling itself is intuitive, offering the ability to edit items quickly and easily. With the ability to collect information directly from the production line in real mode, the schedule is matched with real progress, and the collected data can be used to build alternative production scenarios in the digital twin module.

Powered by intelligent algorithms
Support key decisions with integrated expert module
It functions on the basis of coded algorithms fed by data flowing directly from the production floor.
The software analyzes alternative production scheduling scenarios to find the optimal one from the perspective of a specific decision criterion. The ability to select the scenarios tested in the digital twin makes production run as smoothly as possible.”

What about production logistics?
Use the WMS
Digit.IO, is an innovative platform for supporting manufacturing processes.
In addition to the scheduling segment, the system offers the possibility of comprehensive support for all production logistics.
Digit.IO WMS is a component of the system that supervises the control of the supply of production components directly to the line, or production nests, using automatic identification technology (bar codes, 2D codes, RFID) and elements of automation and robotics (AGV robots).
Management based on accurate and timely data.
Digit.IO Control software
Digit.IO Control is an advanced manufacturing process analysis software .
This is based on data extracted online from processes related to product manufacturing and the flow of materials in the factory.
Through the use of statistical tools, it is possible to identify deviations and risks in the implementation of processes and forecast its future state. This makes it possible to manage on the basis of appropriate and optimal operational decisions.
Automation for logistics and manufacturing
We will design and implement automation systems in your enterprise.
In a world of rising employment costs and ongoing shortages of skilled personnel, it is becoming essential to reach for process automation solutions. In order to properly identify the potential for automation, look for task repetition. If the work in certain areas bears such hallmarks, it is very likely to be automated. Our offerings include:

Joint forces, means more opportunities
HKK Group, being the leader of the consortium, has obtained a grant from the National Center for Research and Development for the implementation of a research project entitled “The Future of the HKK Group”. Development of an information system for active production control using the Digital Twins concept.
The project is implemented under Measure 1.1 of the Operational Program Intelligent Development 2014-2020, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
The aim of the project is to develop a new innovative product in the form of an IT system that enables active production control through dynamic production scheduling and ongoing monitoring of material flow parameters and manufacturing processes. Operation of the system will be based on analysis and decision-making using simulation and decision support methods. The work will be carried out by a consortium consisting of: HKK Group and Consortium: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Poznan University of Technology. The project is divided into 5 phases.
The result of the project will be: an information system in line with the Digital Twins concept. The system’s functional solutions will allow digital reproduction of real production processes.
