Abstract
Described are techniques for evaluating the readiness level in the industrial floor infrastructure and automation software to ensure that the appropriate automation software is being utilized to control the appropriate industrial floor infrastructure. A digital twin simulation is created and executed to analyze the capabilities of the industrial floor infrastructure in view of an update to the automation software to identify capabilities of the updated automation software that are utilized by the existing capabilities of the industrial floor infrastructure. Recommendations may then be provided to upgrade, replace, install and/or perform proactive maintenance of the industrial floor infrastructure to further utilize the capabilities of the updated automation software if the capabilities of the updated automation software are not being utilized with the existing capabilities of the industrial floor infrastructure at an acceptable level.
