Vehicle Digital Twin Assembly Tracking for Flexible Modular Production

The patent creates digital twins (virtual copies) of vehicle subassemblies and components that can be manipulated, tracked, and assembled in a virtual environment. This digital replication eliminates the need for expensive physical conveyor systems and AGVs, as the digital models can be moved and assembled through software interfaces without requiring costly physical infrastructure.

The invention replaces the mechanical conveyor systems and automatic guided vehicles with a digital information system. Instead of physically transporting components along assembly lines, the patent uses digital scanning, data storage, and virtual assembly processes to track and manage component assembly, substituting mechanical transportation infrastructure with information-based management.

The patent implements a dynamic digital twin system that can be reconfigured for different vehicle models and assemblies. The digital representations can be updated and modified to reflect different product configurations without requiring physical infrastructure changes. This allows the same facility to efficiently assemble multiple vehicle types by simply updating the digital models and assembly instructions.

The digital twin platform serves multiple functions: it tracks components, stores assembly instructions, manages quality control, and adapts to different vehicle configurations. This universal digital system replaces the need for specialized infrastructure for each vehicle type, allowing a single facility to handle diverse product configurations with the same physical equipment.
