Implementación de un gemelo digital y una aplicación móvil para monitoreo remoto del sistema de simulación de procesos industriales de la CAPEIPI : implementación de un gemelo digital y una aplicación móvil para el subproceso de corte y desecho de residuos para la cadena de procesamiento de papas.

Abstract

A digital twin is a virtual parallel of a real plant, which allows simulating and monitoring its behavior through data collected by field equipment. This work seeks to implement a digital twin of the plant located in the laboratory of the CEDIT within CAPEIPI. To this end, the integration of various technological platforms, including Google Sheets, Google Apps Script, FlutterFlow, Blender and Unity, is fundamental. Google Sheets hosts the equipment database while Google Cloud provides the environment for reading information directly from the cloud. Through Google Apps Script several functionalities are added, one of them, the conversion of the equipment data to JSON format, optimizing the access and management of the information. The application developed in FlutterFlow interacts with this data, visualizing it and allowing real-time updates. On the other hand, Blender is used for 3D modeling of the plant equipment, while Unity integrates these models and adds interactive functionality through scripting in Visual Studio Code. The system is designed to emulate the behavior of a real process, ensuring that sensors and actuators work correctly and errors are displayed when necessary. The mobile application is distributed via a QR code, making it easy to download. This project demonstrates the feasibility of implementing digital twins in the Ecuadorian industry.
