A quick recap of the stages of Industrial Revolution - from 1760

An article that seeks to distance metaverse hype from the value of industrial digital twins

The value of Digital Twins can only be realized if Digital Twins and their virtual environment contain the same data and resulting information as their corresponding Physical Twins and real-world environment. This means that the need for more extensive, faster, and richer sensing of the physical world will dramatically increase as valuable use cases proliferate. In addition, we will evolve from working in physical or virtual environments to integrating and working simultaneously in both environments. Dr. Grieves discusses his views on the opportunities and issues of this evolution.

With the advent of Industry 4.0, there has been an increasing trend toward interconnectedness. Within this trend, the recommendations in this article position digital twins as a critical, connecting force.

An interview with Kaishi Zhang focused on data interoperability relating to industrial automation

This article presents a discussion on how Intelligent Digital Twins (IDTs) will evolve and assist in developing and managing complex systems.

A short clear article focused on use cases for digital twins in manufacturing.

This article looks at how intelligent digital twins will be able to improve manufacturing and bring about continuous improvement.

"Interoperability is critical to enable digital twins to process information from heterogeneous systems. The Digital Twin System Interoperability Framework seeks to address this challenge by facilitating complex system of systems interactions. Examples include scaling a smart building to a smart city to an entire country, or an assembly line to a factory to a global supply chain network,” said Dan Isaacs, CTO, Digital Twin Consortium.

The City of Seoul implemented S-Map (soil mapping) technology to create a digital twin to solve various urban problems through simulation, combining information such as administration and environment.

This paper on electronic rail digital twins, presented at the Power Electronics, Drive Systems, and Technologies Conference focuses on the need for precision to execute an exact simulation of the performance of real physical system.
