Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Classic cars hold substantial value in the automotive industry, and the restoration process plays a pivotal role in increasing their worth. Ensuring the certification of these restoration processes is crucial, as is keeping owners well-informed about the ongoing procedures involving their cherished vehicles. By monitoring and controlling these restoration activi- ties, and take into account the physical setting of the shop floor, classic car workshops can optimize operations, provide owners with relevant information, and preserve the authen- ticity of these vintage automobiles. To achieve this, we under-carried a digital transition process in a classic car restoration workshop, incorporating Industry 4.0 principles and Cyber-physical systems. This research focuses on developing an advanced Digital Twin system for a classic car restoration workshop. The Digital Twin application enhances the management and monitoring of restoration and preservation processes, integrating with previously devel- oped systems. The system enables workshop employees to manage car slot areas, track vehicle tasks, and assign these tasks to specific physical locations. It includes a 3D model of the workshop, allowing users to navigate, view vehicle locations, and interact with them. Classic car owners can monitor their vehicle’s restoration progress and history. Additionally, the system supports process flow visualization and simulations. In conclusion, the Digital Twin application streamlines workshop operations, enhances transparency between staff and owners, and preserves the authenticity of restoration processes. This research advances digital twin technology in classic car restoration, fostering improved management practices and enriching the overall experience for classic car owners.
