Abstract
Making changes and redesigning a product frequently significantly increases the cost and duration of the development cycle, as well as increases the number of field tests and prototypes of the product. Thus, the insufficient effectiveness of projects can be expressed in a long duration and cost, and therefore this study suggests a methodology for implementing digital twin technology in order to improve the product development process. The purpose of the study is to form the main stages, targets and requirements that contribute to the improvement of the product development pro-cess in the high-tech industry. The paper presents the practice-oriented methodology for improving the product devel-opment process of machine-building enterprises. The research materials are based both on the existing experience of domestic and foreign authors in the field of digital technology implementation, including digital twins, and on research projects implemented by engineering divisions of the largest domestic corporations. In addition, the proposed method is based on the main provisions of the national standard GOST R 57700.37–2021 "Digital twins of products" and the results of the use of digital twins technology in the activities of SPbPU Engineering Center "Computer-Aided Engineer-ing Center" (CompMechLab®). The paper presents the formed groups of requirements for the process of developing mechanical engineering products, while considering the target indicators of the development process, which include duration, cost, labor intensity, meeting the requirements of the development process and meeting the requirements of the terms of reference. The paper presents an algorithm for developing a digital twin of product. Thus, it is possible to achieve a high level of efficiency of the product development process in high-tech industry, which ensures the country's technological leadership and national superiority.
