Gemelo Digital en RA de Planta de Automatización de la Universidad Santo Tomás

Abstract

The pandemic generated the need to look for new alternatives that facilitate the teaching processes, without leaving aside the quality of education, therefore, it is essential to propose alternatives that implement innovative technologies that favor both students and teachers when teaching classes remotely. Acquiring fundamental knowledge and skills in the management of plant control systems in a remote environment is key to the development of the future professional. One of the cutting-edge technologies is augmented reality, therefore, the proposal of this project is the digitization of the plant of St. Thomas Aquinas University through a digital twin in 3D. This includes the construction of the digital twin, the communication with a programmable logic controller (PLC) and the development of an augmented reality application. This is to ensure an effective transition to a more advanced education model compared to the current one. In this context, the application of current technologies, such as augmented reality, has become essential to enrich the learning experience for both students and teachers.
