Twin4Twin Technical Workshop hosted by SCCH
On June 4th and 5th, 2025, the Twin4Twin EU Project held a highly productive two-day technical workshop, hosted by the Software Competence Center Hagenberg (SCCH). The workshop took place across two venues in Austria: SCCH’s headquarters in Hagenberg and the LIT Open Innovation Center (Johannes Kepler University) in Linz. This event brought together project partners, researchers, and technical experts to present recent research advancements, exchange insights, and explore collaborative directions in the domains of digital twins, artificial intelligence, and Industry 5.0.
The first day of the workshop was held at SCCH in Hagenberg. Proceedings commenced with welcoming remarks from Mario Pichler and Georgios Chasparis (SCCH), followed by a series of technical presentations from SCCH researchers and affiliated institutions. Topics included interpretable AI in industrial contexts, the development and application of physics-informed virtual sensors, and collaborative intelligence platforms tailored for next-generation industrial systems. The agenda also featured presentations on data preprocessing techniques in predictive modeling and AI-based manufacturing innovations. Participants were given a comprehensive tour of SCCH's demonstrator facilities, led by Christian Salomon, showcasing key research achievements and project results in action. The afternoon sessions focused on AI-assisted software engineering, with a particular emphasis on retrieval-augmented generation and resource management strategies within the cloud continuum, reflecting the project's strong interdisciplinary approach.
The second day of the workshop continued at the LIT Open Innovation Center (Johannes Kepler University) in Linz. This segment of the event centered on fundamental and advanced applications of machine learning and the integration of physics-based models with data-driven approaches. Presentations included discussions on machine learning under distribution shifts, computational engineering frameworks for digital twin implementation, and innovations in neural networks and hybrid digital twins informed by physical laws. The program concluded with a visit to the LIT Factory at Johannes Kepler University Linz, where participants were introduced to real-world production demonstrators and experimental platforms. This visit, guided by Bernhard Löw-Baselli, offered valuable insights into how theoretical research is being translated into industrial practice.
The two-day workshop served as an important milestone for the Twin4Twin project, reinforcing collaboration among partners and furthering its mission to develop advanced, interpretable, and deployable digital twin technologies. The consortium extends its sincere appreciation to SCCH and LIT for their excellent organization and hospitality.
