Abstract: This paper describes an analysis of the connotation of process optimisation driven by Digital Twin (DT) and puts forward the framework design of a five-dimensional assembly system driven by DT. Based on the assembly framework, the DT technology is constructed based on key features from the exploration of physical space and virtual space. A method for optimising the assembly process is put forward through assembly hierarchy division, process preparation and information collection, and process execution process feedback.

Keywords: digital twin; product assembly; information model; process optimisation.
