Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to discuss the aspects of modernizing a legacy application and how modernization was being implemented into the digital twin technology at Nokia. This thesis documented the work performed over a ten-week period beginning on 23rd May till 29th July 2022 during a summer trainee position at Nokia.
The first part of this thesis gives an overview of the need for modernizing legacy applications along with a discussion on modernizing technology specifically at Nokia. The second part of the thesis consists of the weekly diary entries along with weekly analyses of the work performed. The objective of the project described in the weekly diary was to rebuild the older existing service and integrate it with the new current architecture of the digital twin. The digital twin team at Nokia have developed a smart factory at the Nokia premises where several new and innovative technologies are all utilised to build and deploy a digitalised version of the factory.
The project resulted in the creation of a successful service that ran independently within the digital twin architecture. It could be maintained and updated as needed. The service supplied real-time data analysis and data visualization of gathered metrics from within the Nokia factory. With all the knowledge gained from the project, further study could involve developing a step-by-step framework for building a digital twin from scratch for any factory.
