Abstract

This contribution explores the development of a digital twin for industrial valves, with a focus on mitigating the costly consequences of valve malfunctions in large-scale industrial environments. Industrial valves are critical components in fluid and gas control systems where unexpected failures can lead to significant downtime and financial loss. Digital twins as virtual replicas of physical systems offer a promising solution as they enable real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. This paper looks at the creation of a digital twin for a specific valve type (74BS from SchuF Armaturen und Apparatebau GmbH) and considers key aspects such as model development, sensor integration and IT infrastructure. A test bench is constructed to collect the measured values to support the validation of the digital twin. The integration of sensors and the development of an IT system for data processing are also described in detail. Finally, the technically relevant frequencies are identified in an FFT.
