From Theory to Practice: A Systematic Review of Digital Twin Implementations Across Industry 4.0

A paradigm shift has occurred in the industry of manufacturing as a result of the rapid emergence and evolution of Industry 4.0. It is a process that involves increasing connectivity, automation, and data exchange. One of the most critical components of this new paradigm is the creation of a Digital Twin (DT). This technology allows companies to create and manage virtual models of their physical systems and processes. This allows them to perform simulations and improve their performance. The paper reviews the various challenges and opportunities that DT technology offers in Industry 4.0. It starts by talking about the concept of Industry 4.0, focusing on its key components, and then goes on to talk about its advantages. The paper also covers the various limitations and challenges of DT technology, such as interoperability, security, and lack of high-quality data. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the various factors that manufacturers have to consider when implementing this technology in their operations. The paper also explores the possibilities offered by DT technology to transform the manufacturing industry. Although it offers numerous advantages, it acknowledges that overcoming the challenges that DT brings can be a daunting task. In addition to investing in a robust data infrastructure, the paper also suggests that organizations establish partnerships with technology firms and develop a skilled workforce that can take advantage of DT capabilities. The purpose of this paper is to provide a thorough analysis of the many advantages and drawbacks that DT technology has to offer in the context of Industry 4.0. Through its recommendations, it can help manufacturers overcome these obstacles. It is also useful for policymakers and researchers who are interested in learning more about the potential of this technology in their organizations.
