INVO Digital Twin

Test a decision on a digital model of the plantbefore you roll it out.

Digital Twin combines operational data, predictive models and production constraints to determine how a decision under consideration affects the course of the whole operation.

Scope of use

Decision questionsDigital Twin can answer.

  • 01

    Can the plant increase production by 20%?

  • 02

    What follows from taking one production line out?

  • 03

    How will a bill of materials change affect production cost?

  • 04

    Does executing the plan require an extra shift?

  • 05

    What is the impact of a delayed delivery on the production schedule?

  • 06

    Which schedule variant minimizes overtime?

Simulation → comparison → decision

Three stages from a decision questionto a chosen variant.

  1. 01

    Simulation

    Compute many scenarios without touching current production.

  2. 02

    Comparison

    Cost, lead time, capacity utilization, waste and risk level.

  3. 03

    Decision

    Pick the variant with the best predicted outcome.

How it works

How the digital modelof the plant is built.

Digital Twin is not a single model — it is a combination of several layers.

The first step is mirroring the real course of the operation; the second is training models for its individual segments.

01

Mirroring the real course of the operation

The data warehouse collects the history of transitions across the whole process chain.

  • Orders
  • Bills of materials
  • Purchasing
  • Inventory
  • Production
  • Flight test
  • Logistics
02

Dedicated models for individual areas

Instead of one universal model, a set of specialized models is used:

  • Demand Model → forecast order volume
  • Production Duration Model → forecast completion time
  • Consumption Model → forecast actual consumption
  • Waste Model → forecast loss level
  • Supplier Model → forecast actual delivery date
  • Capacity Model → bottleneck location

Each model is trained and validated for its specific forecasting task.

03

Predictive models joined with optimization

Digital Twin is built from four cooperating layers:

  • Machine Learning

    forecast of the likely course

  • Optimization

    choosing the optimal variant within the constraints

  • Simulation

    assessing the consequences of individual scenarios

  • ERP data

    the real state of the operation as the entry point

The technology behind it

The predictive layer (gradient boosting, time-series models) feeds an optimization solver and a scenario simulation engine that runs on the plant's operational constraints.

The model architecture is not a fixed part of the product — the choice depends on the characteristics of the client's dataset.

Sources of the financial effect

The effect appears in several areas at once,so it can't be reduced to a single indicator.

Waste ↓

Less overproduction and material loss

Inventory ↓

Lower level of frozen working capital

Overtime ↓

More accurate planning of people

Throughput ↑

Higher volume from existing infrastructure

Emergency buys ↓

Fewer emergency purchases

Downtime ↓

Higher utilization of available capacity
