Blockchain Integration With the Digital Twin-Enabled Industrial Internet of Things Based on Mixed Reality

Abstract

The industrial landscape is about to undergo a revolution thanks to the convergence of emerging technologies. Specifically, the integration of blockchain with the digital twin-enabled industrial internet of things (IIoT) within mixed reality environments has the potential to do just that. This chapter presents a thorough analysis of the applications, advantages, and difficulties of various technologies while examining their potential for synergy. The digital twin provides real-time data monitoring, analysis, and predictive maintenance capabilities. The industrial internet of things establishes connections between tangible objects and sensors, enabling smooth communication and interchange of data. This chapter investigates the use of mixed reality (MR) technology to integrate blockchain technology with the IIoT that is enabled by digital twins. The potential for improving data security, trust, and transparency in industrial applications through the integration of blockchain with IIoT and MR could aid in the development of the Industry 4.0 paradigm.
