Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" An information technology system for a distributed manufacturing network includes an additive manufacturing management platform configured to manage process workflows for a set of distributed manufacturing network entities associated with the distributed manufacturing network. A modeling stage of a process workflow includes a digital twin modeling system defined by a product instruction or a control tower instruction to encode a set of digital twins representing a product for use by the additive manufacturing management platform. The information technology system includes an artificial intelligence system executable by a data processing system. The artificial intelligence system is trained to generate process parameters for the process workflows managed by the additive manufacturing management platform using data collected from the distributed manufacturing network entities. The information technology system includes a control system configured to adjust the process parameters during an additive manufacturing process performed by at least one of the distributed manufacturing network entities.
