A computer-implemented system and method for searching comprises receiving digital twin instance part assembly information (IPAD) from a sensor scan of a physical part assembly produced by assembling a first physical part with a second physical part. Digital twin framework part assembly data (FPAD) is received representing a correctly assembled physical part assembly and that corresponds to the physical part assembly. Context data associated with a context within which the physical part assembly is produced is also received. The FPAD is compared with the IPAD, utilizing the context data, to determine whether a deviation of the IPAD from the FPAD exceeds a threshold. Responsive to the deviation exceeding a threshold, the method comprises providing corrective information to a device of an assembler for re-assembling the first physical part to the second physical part to produce a reassembled physical part assembly based on the corrective information.
