Research Lab

Digital Twin Lab

EAISI, as the linking pin between 果冻传媒 departments and industry in AI, has recently started a Digital Twin lab to support experiments in this area, in its three application areas of high-tech systems, health and mobility. The goal of the lab is to bring researchers together, to share experiences, reduce the cost of setting up experimental environments and to address the important societal issues. 

This typically involves modelling real-world situations and creating data interfaces between the real context and model. The Digital Twin lab will provide tools such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to allow deeper interaction with the virtual models.

Integrated Master Planning and Control (IMPACT)

Jeroen Didden, Ivo Adan, Vinh Dang (all IE&IS)

This project is part of a use case from the Digital Factory of the Future initiative of Brainport Industries. It aims to develop an autonomous scheduling system, based on a Digital Twin of the factory floor, to control real-time production and simultaneously enable predictive capabilities to aid higher level planning.

Digital twin of a front-end semiconductor factory to improve WIP control

Ivo Adan,  and Alp Akcay (all IE&IS)

Production control is a challenging task in a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility (fab) and can be characterized as a complex job shop. The amount of unfinished products which are in production - referred to as work-in-progress (WIP) - in different areas of the fab can fluctuate greatly over time, causing an unwanted variability on the production lead-times. Dispatching and scheduling decisions, i.e. deciding in what sequence lots from the queue are produced, influence how the WIP flows through the fab and is  therefore called WIP control.

The ambition of this project is to develop a proof-of-concept for a new WIP control system for the front-end wafer fabs of Nexperia which (1) stabilizes the lead-times and (2) maximizes the throughput.

To test this new control system in a virtual environment, a digital twin is developed. This digital twin is a discrete-event simulation model which mimics the behavior of the full fab and can be used to analyze future behavior.
