ABSTRACT
Within the Industry 4.0 context, different digital twins (DTs) are used to analyse manufacturing systems and assist decision-making processes throughout their entire life cycle. This means that many professionals, with various roles and cultures, build and use their own DTs; hence, methods and tools are required to ensure that the so taken decisions are consistent. This chapter formally proposes a design tool that will help professionals deal with this important issue, allowing them not only to establish and check relations among project data but also to integrate different model-based DTs with one another. The tool specification builds on the recently introduced digital multiverse (DM) paradigm, where all DTs are viewpoints on the same common knowledge corpus, called Model and Data Base.
