The paper describes the use of a material flow simulation, which is controlling an AGV and interacting with digital twins of manufacturing cells. The digital twins determine the exact machining times. In addition, a mixed-reality application visualizes the entire system, while the communication via MQTT ensures a quasi-synchronous behavior of the different models and the AGV. The paper provides a literature review on similar solutions, describes the concept of our approach and specifies the technical implementation.en670journal article
