Hi, I'm Ronny from DiKItal Solutions – embedded dev & test automation engineer for **Automotive, MedTech, and Industrial systems. I've seen countless Industry 4.0 projects fail because of one simple truth: **You can't digitalize what you can't document.
The Problem: Everyone Wants Digital Twins, Nobody Wants to Feed Them Data
Companies invest millions in digital twins and Industry 4.0 – but then reality hits:
❌ Documentation is manual → CAD files, test reports, PLC logs scattered everywhere
❌ Data is outdated within weeks → Hardware changes, documentation doesn't
❌ Engineers waste 40% of their time searching for data instead of building (Gartner)
The brutal truth?
70% of digital twins are dead after 1 year – because nobody maintains them (McKinsey, 2023).
Without automated, living data, your digital twin is just an expensive 3D model.
The Solution: AI-Powered Digital Twin Content Factory
What if AI could automatically:
✅ Extract data from CAD, PLC logs, test systems (Vector CANoe, LabVIEW…)
✅ Structure it into a living digital twin that updates itself
✅ Generate documentation, trace dependencies, sync with real hardware
No manual work. No outdated docs. Just AI doing the heavy lifting.
How It Works
1️⃣ Connect your data sources (CAD, test systems, PLCs, Excel chaos…)
2️⃣ AI extracts & structures everything (understands CANoe traces, S7 logs, PDFs…)
3️⃣ Auto-generates a living digital twin (version-controlled, always up-to-date)
4️⃣ Export for any use case (simulations, AR, predictive maintenance, compliance reports)
Real Impact
Automotive supplier example:
❌ Before: 12 Excel sheets, manual updates, constant version conflicts
✅ After: One central AI-maintained digital twin, auto-synced with hardware changes
📊 Result: 50% less documentation effort, 30% faster debugging, AI-ready data
MedTech (IEC 62304) example:
❌ Before: Manual traceability matrices, weeks of work per audit
✅ After: AI auto-generates compliance docs from test logs
📊 Result: Audit-ready in hours instead of weeks
Why AI Changes Everything
Traditional tools require structured data – but in the real world, you have:
- Handwritten notes
- PDFs with diagrams
- CAN traces without context
- Excel sheets everywhere
Our AI understands this chaos and turns it into structured, actionable digital twins.
Not just data extraction – intelligent understanding:
- Recognizes component relationships from CAD + test data
- Links hardware revisions to software versions automatically
- Detects missing documentation and suggests what's needed
What I'm Building
I'm currently working on:
🚀 Digital Twin Content Factory – AI-powered automation for Industry 4.0 data
🏭 Industrial Metaverse – where digital twins meet real hardware in real-time
The goal?
Make Industry 4.0 actually work by solving the data problem first.
Let's Talk
Are you struggling with:
- Manual documentation hell?
- Outdated digital twins?
- Test data that nobody can find 6 months later?

TL;DR:
Digital twins fail without automated data. I'm building an AI-powered Digital Twin Content Factory that auto-generates living digital twins from your existing chaos – so you can innovate instead of documenting.
