A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY OPTIMIZING INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION PROCESSES

A process optimizer apparatus (1) for optimizing dynamically an industrial production process of a production plant (2) including physical production modules (3), said process optimizer (1) comprising a watchdog component (1A) adapted to monitor the production modules (3) of said production plant (2) to detect configuration changes within said production plant (2); a model comparator component (1B) adapted to evaluate a production plant data model (PPDM) of said production plant (2) comprising digital twin data models (DMs) related to physical production modules (3) of said production plant (2) to identify automatically deviating model elements of digital twin data models (DMs) related to physical production modules (3) of said production plant (2) affected by the configuration changes detected by said watchdog component (1A); and a process resequencer component (1C) adapted to perform a dynamic process optimization of said at least one production process of said production plant (2) depending on the deviating model elements identified by said model comparator component (1B).
