ABSTRACT

A method includes defining a sensor layout of a digital twin based on sensor
parameters and routing control locations of the digital twin. The method
includes simulating a manufacturing routine of a plurality of pallets and a
plurality of workstations based on one or more pallet parameters associated
with the plurality of pallets and one or more workstation parameters
associated with the plurality of workstations and calculating, for each
routing control location from among the one or more routing control locations,
a transient production value and a steady state production value based on the
manufacturing routine. The method includes iteratively adjusting the sensor
layout of the digital twin until each transient production value is less than
or equal to a threshold transient production value and each steady state
production value is less than or equal to a threshold steady state production
value.
