Full textAbstract:
Digital twining (DT) is a recent approach in designing, optimization, and exploitation of cyber physical systems (CPS). DT can be used to simulate the behaviour of the CPS during a failure event, allowing reliability engineers to identify areas of the system that are vulnerable to failure, the root cause of the failure and to develop strategies for prevention. In this paper the interest goes to designing CPS based on digital twining approach while maximizing CPS reliability. The most common CPS reliability requirements are investigated and their reliability optimization strategies when using DT are discussed.

Over the last few decades, our digitally expanding world has experienced another significant digitalization boost because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital transformations are changing every aspect of this world. New technological innovations are springing up continuously, attracting increasing attention and investments. Digital twin, one of the highest trending technologies of recent years, is now joining forces with the healthcare sector, which has been under the spotlight since the outbreak of COVID-19. This paper sets out to promote a better understanding of digital twin technology, clarify some common misconceptions, and review the current trajectory of digital twin applications in healthcare. Furthermore, the functionalities of the digital twin in different life stages are summarized in the context of a digital twin model in healthcare. Following the Internet of Things as a service concept and digital twining as a service model supporting Industry 4.0, we propose a paradigm of digital twinning everything as a healthcare service, and different groups of physical entities are also clarified for clear reference of digital twin architecture in healthcare. This research discusses the value of digital twin technology in healthcare, as well as current challenges and insights for future research.

The topic of this paper represents our research in the process of creating a virtual model (digital twin) for a fast-food company production chain starting with the moment when a customer launches an order, following with the processing of that order, until the customer receives it. The model will describe elements that are included in this process such as equipment, human resources and the necessary space that is needed to host this layout. The virtual model created in a simulation platform will be a replicate of a real fast-food company, thus helping us observe the real time dynamic of this production system. Using WITNESS HORIZON 23 we will construct the model of the layout based on real time data received from the fast-food company. This digital twin will be used to manage the production chain material flow, evaluating the performance of the system architecture in various scenarios. In order to obtain a diagnosis of the system’s performance we will simulate the workflow running through preliminary architecture in compliance with the real time behaviour to identify the bottlenecks and blockages in the flow trajectory. In the end we will propose two different optimised architectures for the fast-food company production chain.

Zero-defect manufacturing and flexibility in production lines is driven from accurate Digital Twins (DT) which monitor, understand, and predict the behavior of a manufacturing process under different conditions while also adapting to them by deciding the right course of action in time intervals relevant to the captured phenomenon. During the exploration of the alternative approaches for the development of process twins, significant efforts should be made for the selection of acquisition devices and signal-processing techniques to extract meaningful information from the studied process. As such, in Industry 4.0 era, machine tools are equipped with embedded sensors that give feedback related to the process efficiency and machine health, while additional sensors are installed to capture process-related phenomena, feeding simulation tools and decision-making algorithms. Although the maturity level of some process mechanisms facilitates the representation of the physical world with the aid of physics-based models, data-driven models are proposed for complex phenomena and non-mature processes. This paper introduces the components of Digital Twin and gives emphasis on the steps that are required to transform obtained data into meaningful information that will be used in a Digital Twin. The introduced steps are identified in a case study from the milling process.

Full textAbstract:
Digital twins are the most important parts of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), and play a crucial role in the realization of the Metaverse. Therefore, two important factors: flexibility and adaptability, need to be focused on digital twinning systems. From a virtual perspective, constructing buildings, structures, and mechanisms in the Metaverse requires digital materials and components. Hence, accurate and reliable digital models can guarantee the success of implementation, particularly when it comes to completing physical twins in the real world. Accordingly, four Machine Learning (ML) methods to make digital twins of an advanced 42SiCr alloy considering all of its uncertainties and non-linearities have been employed in this paper. These ML methods accelerate the digitalization of the proposed alloy and allow users to employ them for a wide range of similar metals. Based on this technique, producers can borrow these virtual materials and build their structures in the Metaverse. This way, if the properties of the materials were satisfactory, they might buy them and start manufacturing their products. As a case study, we focus on digital twining of an 42SiCr steel with some influential factors in its mechanical properties, making the nature of the alloy complex. Processes, including heat treatment, may restore the material’s deformability; however, Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) not only eliminates the impact of cold forming but also provides advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) properties. In this research, the combined impacts of different Q&P treatments were investigated on the mechanical properties of 42SiCr steel alloy. The results have shown the acceptability and accuracy of the proposed ML methods in realizing the digital twins of this complex alloy.

Digital twins (DTHs) and virtual twins (VTHs) in healthcare represent emerging technologies towards precision medicine, providing opportunities for patient-centric healthcare. Our scoping review aimed to map the current DTH and VTH technologies in oncology, summarize their technical solutions, and assess their credibility. A systematic search was conducted in the main bibliographic databases, identifying 441 records, of which 30 were included. The studies covered a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, colorectal, and gastrointestinal malignancies, with DTH and VTH applications focusing on diagnosis, therapy, and monitoring. The results revealed heterogeneity in targeted topics, technical approaches, and outcomes. Most twining solutions use synthetic or limited real-world data, raising concerns regarding their reliability. Few studies have integrated real-time data and machine learning for predictive modeling. Technical challenges include data integration, scalability, and ethical considerations, such as data privacy and security. Moreover, the evidence lacks sufficient clinical validation, with only partial credibility in most cases. Our findings underscore the need for multidisciplinary collaboration among end-users and developers to address the technical and ethical challenges of DTH and VTH systems. Although promising for the future of personalized oncology, substantial steps are required to move beyond experimental frameworks and to achieve clinical implementation.

This article examines Blackstone’s Tower: The English Law School from the perspective of law students entering and studying in law schools 25+ years after the publication of the book. The article provides an alternative ‘tour’ of an English law school, the tour that might be given by students. In doing so it asks to what extent students now would recognize the tour on which Twining took us in 1994 and what key sites and debates are either missing or now redundant. In particular, the article aims to encourage us to think about both physical and digital aspects of campus life, the increasing role of marketing, the growing emphasis on student support (particularly relating to wellbeing) and the continuing tensions between the vocational and liberal legal education.

Given the complexity of human left heart anatomy and valvular structures, the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulation of native and prosthetic valves poses a significant challenge for numerical methods. In this review, recent numerical advancements for both fluid and structural solvers for heart valves in patient-specific left hearts are systematically considered, emphasizing the numerical treatments of blood flow and valve surfaces, which are the most critical aspects for accurate simulations. Numerical methods for hemodynamics are considered under both the continuum and discrete (particle) approaches. The numerical treatments for the structural dynamics of aortic/mitral valves and FSI coupling methods between the solid Ωs and fluid domain Ωf are also reviewed. Future work toward more advanced patient-specific simulations is also discussed, including the fusion of high-fidelity simulation within vivo measurements and physics-based digital twining based on data analytics and machine learning techniques.

Computer simulation based on digital twin is an essential process when designing self-driving cars. However, designing a simulation program that is exactly equivalent to real phenomena can be arduous and cost-ineffective because too many things must be implemented. In this paper, we propose the method using the online game GTA5 (Grand Theft Auto5), as a groundwork for autonomous vehicle simulation. As GTA5 has a variety of well-implemented objects, people, and roads, it can be considered a suitable tool for simulation. By using OpenCV (Open source computer vision) to capture the GTA5 game screen and analyzing images with YOLO (You Only Look Once) and TensorFlow based on Python, we can build a quite accurate object recognition system. This can lead to writing of algorithms for object avoidance and lane recognition. Once these algorithms have been completed, vehicles in GTA5 can be controlled through codes composed of the basic functions of autonomous driving, such as collision avoidance and lane-departure prevention. In addition, the algorithm tested with GTA5 has been implemented with a programmable RC car (Radio control car), DonkeyCar, to increase reliability. By testing those algorithms, we can ensure that the algorithms can be conducted in real time and they cost low power and low memory size. Therefore, we have found a way to approach digital twin technology one step more easily.

As the application fields for digital twins have expanded, various studies have been conducted with the objective of optimizing the costs. Among these studies, research on low-power and low-performance embedded devices has been implemented at a low cost by replicating the performance of existing devices. In this study, we attempt to obtain similar particle count results in a single-sensing device replicated from the particle count results in a multi-sensing device without knowledge of the particle count acquisition algorithm of the multi-sensing device. Through filtering, we suppressed the noise and baseline movements of the raw data of the device. In addition, in the process of determining the multi-threshold for obtaining the particle counts, the existing complex particle count determination algorithm was simplified to make it possible to utilize the look-up table. The proposed simplified particle count calculation algorithm reduced the optimal multi-threshold search time by 87% on average and the root mean square error by 58.5% compared to existing method. In addition, it was confirmed that the distribution of particle count from optimal multi-thresholds has a similar shape to that from multi-sensing devices.

Railway scene understanding is crucial for various applications, including autonomous trains, digital twining, and infrastructure change monitoring. However, the development of the latter is constrained by the lack of annotated datasets and limitations of existing algorithms. To address this challenge, we present Rail3D, the first comprehensive dataset for semantic segmentation in railway environments with a comparative analysis. Rail3D encompasses three distinct railway contexts from Hungary, France, and Belgium, capturing a wide range of railway assets and conditions. With over 288 million annotated points, Rail3D surpasses existing datasets in size and diversity, enabling the training of generalizable machine learning models. We conducted a generic classification with nine universal classes (Ground, Vegetation, Rail, Poles, Wires, Signals, Fence, Installation, and Building) and evaluated the performance of three state-of-the-art models: KPConv (Kernel Point Convolution), LightGBM, and Random Forest. The best performing model, a fine-tuned KPConv, achieved a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 86%. While the LightGBM-based method achieved a mIoU of 71%, outperforming Random Forest. This study will benefit infrastructure experts and railway researchers by providing a comprehensive dataset and benchmarks for 3D semantic segmentation. The data and code are publicly available for France and Hungary, with continuous updates based on user feedback.

The digitalization of the construction industry is deemed a crucial element in Construction 4.0’s vision, attainable through the implementation of digital twinning. It is perceived as a virtual strategy to surmount the constraints linked with traditional construction projects, thereby augmenting their productivity and effectiveness. However, the neglect to investigate the causal relationship between implementation and construction project management performance has resulted from a lack of understanding and awareness regarding the consequences of digital twinning implementation, combined with a shortage of expertise among construction professionals. Consequently, this paper extensively explores the relationship between digital twinning implementation and construction project management performance. The Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) is employed to investigate this relationship, utilizing a quantitative research approach through document analysis and questionnaire surveys. Additionally, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software is employed to deduce the relationship. The results underscore that digital twinning implementation significantly improves construction project management performance. Despite recognizing various challenges in digital twinning implementation, when regarded as moderating factors, these challenges do not significantly impact the established causal relationship. Therefore, this investigation aligns with the national push toward the digitalization of the construction sector, highlighting the positive impacts of digital twinning implementation on construction project management performance. Moreover, this study details the impacts of implementing digital twinning from the construction industry’s perspective, including positive and negative impacts. Afterwards, this paper addresses the existing research gap, providing a more precise understanding and awareness among construction industry participants, particularly in developing nations.

Full textAbstract:
Background: With the rapid development of digital twinning technology, the compatibility of digital twinning technology to other technologies is continuously enhanced. It is because of this that the application of image recognition technology in digital twinning technology becomes a reality. However, the key technology of digital twin, the virtual-actual mutual control technology, is not mature enough, and the image recognition technology applied in digital twin technology also has the problem of coordinate system transformation, which becomes an important link of image recognition technology in digital twin. Methods: Based on the above two problems, we take the tangram splicing project as an example to realize a virtual-actual mutual control method, so that the digital twinning technology can be well presented. Furthermore, we implement an image recognition applied to the conversion of digital twinning technology, so that digital twinning technology and image recognition have a seamless connection, allowing the application range of digital twinning technology to be further expanded. Results: In this paper, image recognition technology is successfully applied to digital twin technology by adopting the conversion between different coordinate systems and the real and virtual real time control, which makes the applicability of digital twin technology in high-tech fields such as smart factories and smart manufacturing to a higher level. Conclusions: Finally, through the tangram splicing project, the motion trajectories of the robotic arm and the tangram are consistent with the virtual robotic arm and the tangram in the computer. It is proved that our method can well combine digital twinning technology and image recognition technology.

Full textAbstract:
While digital twins (DTs) have achieved significant visibility, they continue to face a problem of lack of harmonisation regarding their interpretation and definition. This diverse and interchangeable use of terms makes it challenging for scientific activities to take place and for organisations to grasp the existing opportunities and how can these benefit their businesses. This article aims to shift the focus away from debating a definition for a DT. Instead, it proposes a conceptual approach to the digital twinning of engineering physical assets as an ongoing process with variable complexity and evolutionary capacity over time. To accomplish this, the article presents a functional architecture of digital twinning, grounded in the foundational elements of the DT, to reflect the various forms and levels of digital twinning (LoDT) of physical assets throughout their life cycles. Furthermore, this work presents UNI-TWIN—a unified model to assist organisations in assessing the LoDT of their assets and to support investment planning decisions. Three case studies from the road and rail sector validate its applicability. UNI-TWIN helps to redirect the discussion around DTs and emphasise the opportunities and challenges presented by the diverse realities of digital twinning, namely in the context of engineering asset management.

Surveillance robots provide troops with real-time information about their surroundings, including enemy positions, terrain, and potential threats. This information is invaluable for making informed decisions and ensuring the safety of military personnel. Geo-fenced robots are robots equipped with technology that restricts their movements within predefined geographic boundaries. These boundaries are typically established using GPS or other location-based technologies. In applications like the military, geo-fencing can be used to establish secure zones. Geo-fencing helps prevent robots from entering hazardous areas, reducing the risk of damage to the robot and potential harm to friendly forces or civilians This project aims at Digital twinning of robots by creating a virtual replica or model of a physical robot in a digital environment. Digital twinning allows engineers and designers to simulate and test the robot’s behavior, performance, and capabilities in a virtual environment before building the physical robot. This can lead to increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and cost savings. In this project, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor data is integrated with a digital twinned robot to create a virtual reproduction of the robot and its surroundings. LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that maps the robot’s surroundings in fine detail using 3D point clouds by measuring distances using laser pulses. Here we make use of RPLIDAR A1 M8 and acquire data from it using ROS with the help of a RaspberryPi4B Controller. Simulink is used to create a 3D model of the robot’s environment and the robot itself. Reinforcement learning and pure pursuit algorithms are used for developing them. This project discusses the need for geofenced autonomous robots and emphasizes the security and reliability it brings to military applications.

Abstract. A Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a physical asset or system with the purpose of optimizing intelligent behaviour of said physical entity. Digital Twin is a promising tool for asset management as the virtual entity can exist and aid at every stage of a systems life. However, the infancy of the concept means implementation remains at an early stage and particularly poorly defined within an asset management context. Practical case studies of digital twinning (the modelling process of generating and updating Digital Twins) are an important tool to ensure definitions from research are applied rigorously and to aid in their deployment with practitioners in real industrial applications. This-being-said, there are insufficient case studies for asset management digital twinning. In particular, the Digital Twinning process for utility-scale solar has not been considered. Utility-scale solar asset management often suffers challenges due to remoteness and scale of assets, contributing to high labour costs and thus could benefit enormously from an effective Digital Twin to increase precision and accuracy of fault detection and efficiency of labour for O&M tasks. In addition, the data sharing and analysis Digital Twins provide is vital for the immature solar sector. However, Digital Twinning of utility-scale solar has not been well considered and presents issues around cost-effective data collection and modelling. Therefore, this paper details the current state-of-the-art and challenges surveying utility-scale solar and the progress and application of Digital Twin to utility-scale solar. Then a novel proof of concept process for digital twinning of utility-scale solar is presented with a focus on geometric data capture for updating as-is models. Furthermore, the paper will consider Digital Twin requirements and their prescription to current O&M methods in utility-scale solar. Finally, the paper highlights currently available required technology as well as highlighting future technological improvements that would benefit the proposed proof of concept.

The Internet of things technology plays an important role in improving the efficiency of oil and gas production, of which digital twin technology is the most prominent. By effectively using data and organically combining them with a deep understanding of technicians, digital twin technology can improve the efficiency of oil and gas asset systems in the entire life cycle of an oilfield including design, operation control, optimization, etc. Starting with the concept of digital twinning, this paper analyzes the situation of digital twinning in various industries, then obtains the new connotation of digital twinning in oil and gas industry, and at last establishes an optimization model of oil and gas production. Based on the digital twinning of oil and gas and applying the Internet of things, real-time data, and AI, the paper optimizes the oil and gas production process control and applies it to the actual production. Actually, the digital twin technology of oil and gas production includes six parts: entity, model, data collection, intelligent algorithm, service, and interaction control. Meanwhile, each part is interspersed with various data perception and drive, and interactive feedback forms an organic iterative closed-loop control. Digital twin technology can effectively use data and organically combine the deep understanding of technical personnel, so that it can be used in design, operation control, optimization, and other aspects including the entire life cycle of the oilfield from concept to front-end design and out-of-service . And digital twin technology would improve the efficiency of oil and gas asset systems. The example analysis shows that the system efficiency of the oil and gas production model based on digital twinning is improved by 3%. By analyzing the production status, optimizing the design, and fully grasping the production capacity, equipment capacity, and their working conditions of the oil layer, the digital twin-based approach can provide a basis for further formulating reasonable technical measures and make the equipment work normally at high efficiency to ensure high output and efficient production of oil wells.

Many studies and technology companies highlight the actual or potential value of Digital Twins, but they often fail to demonstrate this value or how it can be realised. This gap constitutes a barrier for infrastructure asset management organisations in their attempt to innovate and incorporate digital twinning opportunities in their decision-making processes and their asset management planning activities. Asset management planning activities often make use of existing value-based decision-support tools to select and prioritise investments in physical assets. However, these tools were not originally designed to consider digital twinning investments that also compete for funding. This paper addresses this gap and proposes a value-based analysis for digital twinning opportunities in infrastructure asset management. The proposed analysis method is tested with three rail and road infrastructure case studies: (i) real-time monitoring of a power transformer; (ii) BIM for the design, construction, and maintenance of a new railway line; and (iii) infrastructure displacement monitoring using satellite data (InSAR). The study shows that the proposed method provides a conceptual construct and a common language that facilitates the communication of digital twinning opportunities in terms of their relevance in different contexts. The proposed method can be used to support the investment decision-making process for investments in both physical and non-physical assets and help derive maximum value from the limited available resources.

AbstractPrototyping uses many models over its process, with varying strength and weakness offered by those in the physical vs digital domains. Working across domains is necessary but introduces a transition cost, process complexities, and risks lost learning. Drawing from Digital Twinning, this work explores the creation of integrated physical-digital prototyping workflows, where technology enables simultaneous cross-domain working. It contrasts four case-study implementations of integrated prototyping workflow to current practice, exploring feasibility, value, and implementation challenges.

<p>Aiming at the widely used digital production line and facing the digital twinning technology, this paper proposes a real-time monitoring and diagnosis method of the transmission chain status of the production line based on the digital twinning. First of all, the failure and failure mechanism of the conveyor chain is studied, and then a real-time data monitoring method is proposed according to the failure mechanism. On this basis, a data processing and analysis model oriented to the digital twin model is constructed. Then, artificial intelligence algorithm is incorporated into the model to improve the ability of the twin model to independently judge the failure and failure of the conveyor chain. Finally, the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method are verified by experiments. The accuracy rate of fault diagnosis reaches 98.02%.</p> <p> </p>

Full textAbstract:
In future sixth-generation (6G) communication systems, it is foreseen that complex communication scenarios and critical performance requirements will necessitate more flexible air interface configurations. Traditional air interface adaptation will no longer be applicable to 6G due to issues such as high computational complexity, sub-optimal trade-offs among multi-objective performance metrics, outdated configurations due to fast-varying channels, etc. In this paper, the relevant user behaviors, communication environment, and system are virtualized via the digital twinning technique. Then, a knowledge graph-based multi-objective recommendation framework is proposed to configure the digital twinning air interface to adapt to channel conditions, while balancing various service requirements. First, the knowledge graph is applied to reveal complex dependencies between the air interface and the service requirements, and more importantly, to reconcile possibly contradictory performance targets. Furthermore, the air interface configuration, empowered by the digital twin technique, is able to exploit predicted prior knowledge about user behavior and the channel characteristics, thus improving the utilization efficiency of wireless resources promptly. Moreover, the digital twin technique allows the candidate air interfaces to be virtually verified and compared with little effort. Finally, two case studies are presented to demonstrate the potential of the knowledge graph-based recommendation method for the digital twinning air interface.

Digitalisation and the future city paradigm are becoming a trend in recent research and practices. Literature discusses digitalisation and its applications as the main gear in the transformation to the ideal future city vision. Yet, the concept of digitalisation is articulated in many interpretations and presented in different applications in the built environment. One emerging application is digital twinning. Literature envisions the potential of digital twinning applications in the urban realm and discusses the cognitive city model and its implications on the future of our cities, its urban realm and the built environment in general. With the evolving themes on the ideal future city model, this systematic review tackles the following questions: what are the key motives and drivers of the future city paradigm; what is a city digital twin; and what are their expected applications. Additionally, how literature envisions the definition of the city users and their experience in the urban realm of the city of the future. This review article explores related literature on the themes of future city model, digital urban realm, digital twinning and city users. The main findings are: identifying key gears of the future city model in literature, exploring city digital twin conceptualization and applications and discussing concepts on the definition of city user and user experience in the city of the future.

The digital twinning concept stands as a remarkable opportunity to integrate sophisticated mathematical models within the context of existing manufacturing systems. Such models may provide shipyard management with predictive analytics, improving the final results at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Therefore, the possibility of integrating the Markovian-framework-based finite-state method into the context of ship production is presented in this study, including its outline, digital thread, and factory-floor data reliance. First, the predictive analytics problem is addressed by the finite-state method in the case of the shipyard’s fabrication line, and the obtained results are validated afterward using a numerical model through discrete-event theory. The predictive analytics indicate an almost ideal balancing of the fabrication line, except for the buffers storing stiffeners before the coat-dying and marking operations. In addition, the improvability analysis of the shipyard’s fabrication lines extended the scope of the predictive analytics using bottleneck identification and affecting the key performance indicators through a digital thread, as well as by improved maintenance strategies.

This review focuses on the definitions, modalities, applications, and performance of various aspects of digital twins (DTs) in the context of transmission and industrial machinery. In this regard, the context around Industry 4.0 and even aspirations for Industry 5.0 are discussed. The many definitions and interpretations of DTs in this domain are first summarized. Subsequently, their adoption and performance levels for rotating and industrial machineries for manufacturing and lifetime performance are observed, along with the type of validations that are available. A significant focus on integrating fundamental operations of the system and scenarios over the lifetime, with sensors and advanced machine or deep learning, along with other statistical or data-driven methods are highlighted. This review summarizes how individual aspects around DTs are extremely helpful for lifetime design, manufacturing, or decision making even when a DT can remain incomplete or limited.

AbstractDue to the falling costs of computational resources and the increasing potential of data acquisition, interest in digital twins, a virtual copy of the physical original, and their industrial application is increasing. Nevertheless, there is limited published work on how to support the process of physical to virtual twinning and what its key aspects are. The aim of this study is to present insights with regards to physical to virtual twinning gained from modelling projects in mechatronic product development. We conducted a survey and in-depth interviews with members of modelling projects. In the surveys and interviews we identified how physical products and virtual models were linked, which virtual models were used and which general challenges and key aspects are considered important by the project members. Our findings show that the key characteristics that pose challenges to modelling regarding physical to virtual twinning are model granularity, model validation, and model integration and interconnectivity.

Abstract The aircraft industry is continuously challenged to deliver more complex products in order to meet increasingly stricter regulations and growing customer demands, to provide better quality products in larger quantities, and to pay more attention to reusability and circularity issues. At the same time, the industry needs to work with lower costs, shorter lead and production times, less waste, delay, energy consumption, and emissions, and reduce its dependence on non-renewable materials. To keep up with these challenges, the industry automates and continuously innovates as much as is possible. The increasing use of composites in aircraft and aircraft components adds the extra challenge of rapidly bringing innovative manufacturing processes to the factory floor. Aircraft product design, analysis, testing, and production are increasingly being digitized and automated, and consequently involve, and produce, more and more data. Digital twinning is an important enabler for mastering and exploiting this ever-growing plethora of data. In this paper we discuss the potentials of digital twinning in innovative production processes in the aircraft industry, and describe first-hand results and experiences in developing and using digital twinning in the production of composite aircraft components, illustrated by concrete example applications.

ABSTRACTWhile extensive modelling - both physical and virtual - is imperative to develop right-first-time products, the parallel use of virtual and physical models gives rise to two interrelated issues: the lack of revision control for physical prototypes; and the need for designers to manually inspect, measure, and interpret modifications to either virtual or physical models, for subsequent update of the other. The Digital Twin paradigm addresses similar problems later in the product life-cycle, and while these digital twins, or the “twinning” process, have shown significant value, there is little work to date on their implementation in the earlier design stages. With large prospective benefits in increased product understanding, performance, and reduced design cycle time and cost, this paper explores the concept of using the Digital Twin in early design, including an introduction to digital twinning, examination of opportunities for and challenges of their implementation, a presentation of the structure of Early Stage Twins, and evaluation via two implementation cases.

Global overcapacity, resulting in increasingly fierce competition between enterprises, improve the production efficiency of the manufacturing industry is the key problem. Workshop is an important part of manufacturing industry. In order to improve the intelligent level of workshop and realize the digitization of production process, the current focus is how to use digital twin technology. Although the traditional virtual shop and digital shop design can realize intelligent shop, there are some problems such as non-real-time interaction and low data utilization. Digital twinning technology can effectively improve the transparency of workshop production process and optimize the production process. Establishing digital twin workshops and realizing the interconnection and further integration of workshop information and physical space will become the development trend of workshops and the only way to realize intelligent production and control of workshops. This study describes the definition of digital twin shop, system architecture and supporting technology, and summarizes the applications of digital twin shop in six aspects: shop equipment fault prediction and maintenance, shop production scheduling optimization, production process planning, intelligent control of shop equipment, shop energy consumption analysis and optimization, and real-time control of shop manufacturing process. This will provide reference for later digital twinning workshop researchers.

This article compares two methods of algorithmically processing bandlimited time-continuous signals in light of the general problem of finding “suitable” representations of analog information on digital hardware. Albeit abstract, we argue that this problem is fundamental in digital twinning, a signal-processing paradigm the upcoming 6G communication-technology standard relies on heavily. Using computable analysis, we formalize a general framework of machine-readable descriptions for representing analytic objects on Turing machines. Subsequently, we apply this framework to sampling and interpolation theory, providing a thoroughly formalized method for digitally processing the information carried by bandlimited analog signals. We investigate discrete-time descriptions, which form the implicit quasi-standard in digital signal processing, and establish continuous-time descriptions that take the signal’s continuous-time behavior into account. Motivated by an exemplary application of digital twinning, we analyze a textbook model of digital communication systems accordingly. We show that technologically fundamental properties, such as a signal’s (Banach-space) norm, can be computed from continuous-time, but not from discrete-time descriptions of the signal. Given the high trustworthiness requirements within 6G, e.g., employed software must satisfy assessment criteria in a provable manner, we conclude that the problem of “trustworthy” digital representations of analog information is indeed essential to near-future information technology.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is defined as the process of joining materials layer by layer to produce a part. The Centre for Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (CRPM) of the Central University of Technology, Free State has successfully established an AM process chain to produce qualified medical implants. The process chain complies with the international standards ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 14971:2012, which certify the repeatability and reliability of processes. Despite the significant achievements CRPM has obtained in medical applications, efficiency in some areas can be improved through digital twinning approaches. The digital twin has comprehensive capabilities and allows real-time monitoring that can be used to improve different phases of AM processes. In this study, areas that need further improvement in the process chain, such as management information that flows between different users and processes for design and setting up AM machines, will be discussed. The study will further indicate how these areas can benefit from available advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR) technology and digital twin data management. Further implementation of this approach is expected to confirm the potential of easy self-learning approaches and managing data more effectively for improving the AM process chain.

This research examines the evolving relationship between advanced computerization in video games and architectural design. It traces gaming development from arcade systems to 2D and 3D perspectives, each representing different visual experience models of their eras. By analyzing technological advances in gaming, the study explores how evolving equipment has transformed players’ perceptual experiences, fostering innovative reading approaches. The investigation emphasizes the role of advanced computer systems in upgrading game visuals to achieve heightened realism or hyperrealism. The digitalization of architectural spaces, developed through virtual experiences, challenges traditional boundaries and promotes new perspectives. This transformation emphasizes the interplay between architectural design and the video game industry. Designing virtual spaces and interiors in video games resembles architectural spatial realization. The theoretical framework used in generating virtual spaces in video games could serve as a basis in design of actual spaces. This research explores architectural projects through the lens of video game media, emphasizing how mechanisms and concepts from gaming technology connect with and enhance architectural creativity. It investigates how the dynamics of spatial perception in virtual reality could enrich real-world architectural design. Supported by case studies of three completed public projects, the study focuses on human sensory experiences through the theoretical emphasis between designing architectural spaces in relation to designing videogame spaces.

The renewable energy technologies photovoltaic and solar heat play a major role for the decarbonizing of the building sector. Novel approaches show the integration of those energy systems in a building instead of the common rooftop installation. So-called Building-integrated Photovoltaic Thermal Systems (BIPV(T)) can e. g. act as a replacement for roofing or as façade. They grant the possibility of producing electricity as well as thermal energy. Due to the high significance of the operating phase of buildings in terms of general energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the optimal operation of buildings and their technical systems plays a crucial role in set climate goals. Current trends in the digitalization of the construction world, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Twins, hold alleged potential for sustainable and forward-looking monitoring and maintenance processes of BIPV(T)-systems. This paper demonstrates a proof-of-concept towards a BIM-based digital twin for the yield monitoring and maintenance of an innovative BIPV(T)-façade. In addition to the basic concept, the realization of the prototype is discussed.

The design life of the retained building was extended by 50 years with minimum structural intervention. The adaptive reuse increased the net lettable area from 45 000m2 to 90 000m2. The 45-year-old retained components provided structural integrity for the accelerated construction programme and 80% of the lateral strength and stiffness with minimum intervention for the upgraded building. The digital twinning technology facilitated safe and speedy construction and conserved 12 079t of embodied carbon, with a carbon footprint for the gross internal area of 247kgCO2e/m2. The innovative engineering processes enabled the client, AMP, to achieve its aspirations for a unique world-class commercial building using a comprehensive approach to reducing embodied and operational carbon.

Based on the digital twin technology, a digital twin platform can be built to connect the real teaching space with the virtual teaching space and become the mainstream of online teaching space. All this has determined that the social demand for designers’ education is undergoing fundamental changes. The so-called “scientific and technological progress, education first” bilingual education is undergoing comprehensive and profound changes in the digital age, which has a strong impact on the traditional bilingual teaching mode and concept. Traditional concepts, aging theoretical knowledge, and backward teaching methods will inevitably be eliminated and updated gradually in the contest with digitalization, which makes it necessary to transform traditional bilingual education into digital bilingual education. Through the comparative experimental analysis of the teaching effect, the independent sample t-test shows that the t-statistic is 3.634, and the corresponding significance level is 0.013, which is less than 0.05. It shows that there are significant differences between boys and girls in bilingual teaching in this class of digital twin technology experimental teaching. However, compared with the control class, the results of both boys and girls are higher, so to some extent, it shows that the application of digital twin technology experimental teaching in bilingual teaching will indeed produce certain results.

Digital modelling stands as a pivotal step in the realm of Digital Twinning. The future trend of Digital Twinning involves automated exploration and environmental modelling in complex scenes. In our study, we propose an innovative solution for robot odometry, path planning, and exploration in unknown outdoor environments, with a focus on Digital modelling. The approach uses a minimum cost formulation with pseudo-randomly generated objectives, integrating multi-path planning and evaluation, with emphasis on full coverage of unknown maps based on feasible boundaries of interest. The approach allows for dynamic changes to expected targets and behaviours. The evaluation is conducted on a robotic platform with a lightweight 3D LiDAR sensor model. The robustness of different types of odometry is compared, and the impact of parameters on motion planning is explored. The consistency and efficiency of exploring completely unknown areas are assessed in both indoor and outdoor scenarios. The experiment shows that the method proposed in this article can complete autonomous exploration and environmental modelling tasks in complex indoor and outdoor scenes. Finally, the study concludes by summarizing the reasons for exploration failures and outlining future focuses in this domain.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDesign is multi-modal, and depending on the current stage in the process, progress can be facilitated through working in either the physical or virtual domain with frequent iterations commonly required between. Traditionally, prototyping workflows are sequential, although current trends such as Digital Twinning and Mixed Reality (MR) enable decreased domain transition times, reducing the cycle time. This leads towards fully integrated digital-physical prototypes, enabling work in both domains simultaneously by increasing synchronicity of select variables. This paper considers those variables involved, the sensors that measure them and their rate of synchronisation, thereby investigating the feasibility of MR workflow interventions, and exploring the benefits that may be realised. The paper identifies four components of MR implementations in prototyping and myriad methods by which domain transition may occur and uses these in context of a case study to propose four levels of workflow synchronisation. It was found achieving some high rates of synchronicity is possible, but achieving the highest levels as prescribed by digital twinning is neither feasible nor pragmatic against current MR capabilities and design prototyping workflows.
