Abstract

A simulation device and method are provided. The simulation device includes an interface, a storage, and a processor. The storage stores a plurality of digital twin models, each of the digital twin models simulates one entity of the at least one production line. The processor performs the following operations: generating a plurality of task requirements according to a production specification and a production data; broadcasting the task requirements to each of the digital twin models that meets one of the task requirements, wherein each of the digital twin models generates a state report based on the received task requirements; generating a plurality of task twin models based on the state reports, wherein each of the task twin models includes a group of digital twin models corresponding to the task requirements; and generating a plurality of simulation results according to the task twin models.
