abstract = {Many industries in Indonesia face several challenges to adopting new technologies of industry 4.0, especially for Digital Twin (DT) and Virtual Engineering (VE), which are integrated with Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Lack of human resource and high costs are still significant challenges to developing DT and VE. This preliminary research aims to introduce the initial design of a platform to create Virtual Engineering applications that combine Digital Twin concepts and immersive experience using open-source tools and affordable hardware. Therefore, it can be easily used by Indonesian companies who plan to implement industry 4.0. This platform consists of three parts, 3D Object Management, VE Module, and VE Interface. The developed platform has successfully demonstrated how a physical device can be integrated with its virtual model using a Digital Twin. With this result, industry stakeholders can learn and try to develop digital twin platforms in their industry using this design.},

abstract = {Mastering the fusion of information and communication technologies with physical systems to cyber-physical automation systems is of main concern to engineers in the industrial automation domain. The engineering of these systems is challenging as their distributed nature and the heterogeneity of stakeholders and tools involved in their engineering contradict the need for the simultaneous engineering of their cyber and physical parts over their life cycle. This paper presents a novel approach based on the virtual engineering method, which provides support for the simultaneous engineering of the cyber and physical parts of automation systems. The approach extends and integrates the life cycle centered view mandated by current conceptual architectures and the digital twin paradigm with an integrated, iterative engineering method. The benefits of the approach are highlighted in a case study related to the engineering of the control logic of a cyber physical automation system originating from the process engineering domain. We describe for the first time a modular domain ontology, which formally describes the cyber and physical part of the system. We present cyber services built on top of the ontology layer, which allow to automatically verify different control logic types and simultaneously verify cyber and physical parts of the system in an incremental manner.},
