Abstract

The digitalization and evolution of information technologies within the industry 4.0 have allowed the creation of the virtual model of the production system, called Digital Twin, with the capacity to simulate different scenarios, providing support for better decision-making. This tool not only represents a virtual copy of the physical world that obtains information about the state of the value chain but also illustrates a system capable of changing the development of productive activity towards personalized production, extending product versatility. Decentralized production seeks to respond to these needs because it allows the agglomeration of several services with different geographic locations, promoting the sharing of resources. This paper proposes an architecture for the development of a digital platform of personalization and decentralization of production based on sharing of sustainable resources. With a single tool, it is possible to define the entire production line for a product.
