AI-TWILIGHT: AI-digital TWIn for LIGHTing – a new European project

The European industry needs to keep competitive advantage by addressing the needs for Industry 4.0 and be prepared for 5.0.Already finalized European project Delphi4LED proposed new methods and standards to generate a first of a kind multi-domain LED digital twins. Compared to traditional approach, the newly developed LED digital models contributes to reduce the design phase thanks to faster computation at equivalent accuracy.AI-TWILIGHT will generate prescriptive digital twins for the lighting industry. The project is addressing multiple application area: automotive, horticulture, streetlighting, general lighting. The ambition is to cover a large part of the lifecycle of a LED-based system (including the electronic driver): from product design flow to infrastructure development and maintenance.The key technical and exploitation objectives of the AITWILIGHT consortium are:•To create digital twins of LED light-sources and electronics (driver)•To create self-learning models using Artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics techniques•To facilitate the implementation of the digital twins in digitalized design flow (for Solid State Lighting SSL product design) and facilitate their applications upstream, up to digital twins of lighting systems of large infrastructures (e.g. for building design).•To implement the AI-TWILIGHT methods, models and tools within consortium partners to harvest its benefitsAI-TWILIGHT LED application design flows will be combined with the CPS/IoT approaches and reliability aspects, supported by AI techniques. A self-learning digital twin will be result of the project.
