The added value of long-living assets declines during their lifespan, especially if they do not undergo regular planningintensive maintenance and retrofits. Here, the Digital Twin (DT) concept can support by representing the physical asset's most recent state, typically based on data and information from product creation. However, in the depicted domain, the stakeholders of the product's Mid-of-Life often do not have access to the early phases. Therefore, as often presented in current concepts, creating a holistic Digital Twin is not feasible. Instead, in the Mid-Life phase of long-living assets, only a usecase-specific and demand-actuated Digital Twin is attainable. This instantiation requires a solid procedure, which will be elaborated on in this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
