Digital Twin Modelling for Human-Centered Ergonomic Design

Simulation turns out to be one of the most important aspects of ergonomics, as it allows testing the interaction of the people and the system before they are brought into effect to improve the design process. Digital Twin is a concept that utilizes simulation to implement the representation of the model of a system or product in a virtual manner so that its purpose and working can be analyzed and evaluated before bringing it into the real world to serve its purpose as expected. This report focuses on how Digital Twin is a powerful industrial tool and explains its distinct properties along with its applications through case studies that provide explanations for the required methodology to implement Digital Twin in a simulation software called FlexSim. The results show how important it is in today's world to carry out proper simulations, i.e., implementing the Digital Twin to provide critical solutions in workplace ergonomics and other areas.
