Digital Twins offer vast potential, yet many companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, hesitate to implement them. This hesitation stems partly from the challenges posed by the interdisciplinary nature of creating Digital Twins. To address these challenges, this paper explores systematic approaches for the development and creation of Digital Twins, drawing on relevant methods and approaches presented in the literature. Conducting a systematic literature review, we delve into the development of Digital Twins while also considering analogous concepts, such as Cyber-Physical Systems and Product-Service Systems. The compiled literature is categorised into three main sections: holistic approaches, architecture, and models. Each category encompasses various subcategories, all of which are detailed in this paper. Through this comprehensive review, we discuss the findings and identify research gaps, shedding light on the current state of knowledge in the field of Digital Twin development. This paper aims to provide valuable insights for practitioners and researchers alike, guiding them in navigating the complexities associated with the implementation of Digital Twins.

“…In order to enable the Digital Twins to deliver the relevant information in a goal-oriented way, they must already be conceptualised and designed during product development. In joint research activities with TU Darmstadt, methods for the systematic development of Digital Twin solutions are being developed (Koch et al 2022; Husung et al 2023).…”

Ilmenau is a relatively small town in a beautiful landscape, close to the centre of Germany. Since 1894 it has been the home of a Technical College which after World War II and through some permutations became today’s Technische Universität Ilmenau. For 70 years the university has contributed to Design Science. It is interesting to note that the fundamentals were developed in practice, at the Carl Zeiss company in Jena; it was only later that the new ideas were further developed for academic research and teaching in Ilmenau. The origins at Zeiss Jena still account for the main application area at Technische Universität Ilmenau today: Precision Engineering which, in addition to mechanical, has always included electric, electronic, control, software, and even optical components (“mechatronics” before the term was coined). This article – written by three (out of four in total) of the professors who were and are, respectively, in charge over almost 50 out of the 70 years – tells the story of Design Science in Ilmenau: background, beginnings, development, contributions to research, teaching, and transfer to industry. As Ilmenau was situated in the German Democratic Republic (“East Germany”) between 1949 and 1990, the story is not free of political and societal implications, some of them quite surprising.

“…Digital Twins support different use cases in several product life phases (e.g., predictive maintenance during usage, sustainability assessment of products during use, provision of services, support of remote control, feedback of insights from product usage for further development, support of verification and validation through a systematic comparison of model-based descriptions of the Real and Digital Twins during development, etc.) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. For this purpose, information is exchanged between the Real and Digital Twin and processed in the Digital Twin (e.g., in form of simulations of the expected behavior of the Real Twin), which ultimately leads to application-specific actions in the Real and Digital Twin.…”

“…In order to support the systematic development as needed, there are approaches for the development of Digital Twins [9]. For the systematic and need-oriented development of Digital Twin Solutions, Koch and Husung [6] proposed an approach that consists of four steps and focuses on the aspects shown in Figure 2. Much work already exists on the other aspects of Digital Twin Solutions, some of which should be mentioned here [10][11][12][13].…”

“…Much work already exists on the other aspects of Digital Twin Solutions, some of which should be mentioned here [10][11][12][13]. The objective of this contribution is to detail the approach proposed by Koch and Husung [6] for a specific use case, apply it to a multi-stage gearbox, and validate the approach in a context-specific manner. The following research questions are in focus:…”

Digital Twins are being used more and more frequently and provide information from the Real Twin for different applications. Measurements on the Real Twin are required to obtain information, which in many cases requires the installation of supplementary sensors. For their conception and design, it is particularly important that the measuring principles are selected purposefully and the appropriate sensors are integrated at the goal-oriented measuring positions without impairing the functions and other properties of the Real Twin by the integration of these sensors. In this article, a “Design for Digital Twin” approach is discussed for the systematic procedure and demonstrated using a multi-staged gearbox as a concrete example. The approach focuses on the mechanical and hardware side of the Real Twin. For the systematic conception and design of the Digital Twin solution, an understanding of the stakeholder demands and the expected use cases is necessary. Based on the stakeholder demands and use cases, the relevant product properties can be determined. Using the relevant properties, an iterative process of conception, design, and analysis takes place. The conception is carried out by means of target-oriented cause–effect analyses, taking into account systemic interrelations of the Real Twin components and systematics for the selection of measurement principles. Systemic considerations, combined with an effect graph, allow for the analysis and evaluation of disturbing factors.
