Abstract

In this study, the cleaning operation of moulds used in autoclave moulding of composite materials within the aerospace industry is investigated. By employing Digital Twin technology, various scenarios related to both manual and automated cleaning operations are examined, with the results discussed. This work demonstrates how new tools, such as Digital Twins, can be used to optimise processes from a human-centric perspective, a key objective of the Industry 5.0 manufacturing paradigm. Moving towards the development of Digital Twins enables the assessment and evaluation of manufacturing performance, including cycle time, ergonomics, and operator effort. This approach, when expanded, can provide significant advantages in both performance of manufacturing lines and the well-being of operators.
