“…Michael Grieves recently published research about the common misunderstanding that the Digital Twin does not exist unless there is a physical object [11]. According to Grieves, the primary criterion for determining if a digital model is a Digital Twin is whether the model is designed to become a physical product with a physical counterpart.…”

“…It involves the management of the physical asset and the associated digital knowledge within the scope of the project [5,29]. Likewise, BIM considers the entire life cycle of an asset, including quality control and asset management [30][31][32][33][34]. BIM has potential applicability and benefits in the service and maintenance stage, according to many types of research [35][36][37], and some leading FM organizations are pushing the use of BIM in this stage.…”

The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management (AEC-FM) industry is increasingly affected by digital technologies that monitor sensor network data and control automation systems. Advances in digital technologies like Digital Twin offer a high-level representation of buildings and their assets by integrating the physical and digital world. This paper examines patterns, gaps, and trends in the AEC-FM sector and contributes to digitalization and automation solutions for building management. This work covers a broad range of research topics, from intelligent information management of complex models to building information management and the interaction of building systems, where researchers are increasingly interested in using the Digital Twin to manage their information and in developing new research lines focused on data interchange and the interoperability of building information modeling (BIM) and facility management (FM). After a complete bibliometric search of several databases and following selection criteria, 77 academic publications about the Digital Twin application in the AEC-FM industry were labeled and clustered accordingly. This study analyzed in detail the concept of key technologies, including “Digital Twin in Facility Lifecycle Management,” “Digital Twin-Information Integration Standards,” “Digital Twin-Based Occupants Centric Building Design,” “Digital Twin-Based Predictive Maintenance,” “Semantic Digital Twin for Facility Maintenance,” and “Digital Twin-Based Human Knowledge.” The findings show that information standardization is the first major hurdle that must be overcome before the actual use of Digital Twin can be realized in the AEC-FM industry. Based on that, this paper provides a conceptual framework of Digital Twin for building management as a starting point for future research.

“…Grieves declares that Digital Twin is a result of three elements: physical product, its virtual representation and a flow of different data and information that is circulating between those two [5]. Keeping in mind the progressing digitalization and the industrial revolution Grieves and Vickers in further papers defined the Digital Twin as "a digital informational construct of a physical system as an entity on its own" [6].…”

“…The distribution of industrial cases according to industry segment is presented on Error! Reference source not found.. As it can be seen from the chart the Industrial Machinery appeared the most often in the research papers (33 articles), and it was then followed by Aerospace applications (11) and Marine Transportation applications (6). Due to the fact that industrial machinery is undeniably related to manufacturing the breakdown of Digital Twin applications' case studies were made.…”

Modern systems supporting production processes are undergoing significant changes, which involve challenges related to the digitization of processes. Decision making is becoming more and more dependent on the analysis of various types of data and information from the production process. The 4th Industrial Revolution forces the transition towards new technologies, innovation and digital models also in manufacturing operations. One of the phenomena of Industry 4.0 is Digital Twin, whereby it is possible to analyze and simulate real-time different production variants from the real environment without directly interfering with the actual production process. Thanks to the use of Digital Twin, it is possible to optimize manufacturing procedures, detect physical problems faster and make a decision about a process change with smaller risks to achieve a new higher level of productivity. This paper will introduce the theoretical aspects connected with Digital Twin-driven approach in smart manufacturing and will emphasize its potential towards the application of new-generation information technologies in industry and manufacturing. The systematic literature research will be focused on the analysis of different application areas of Digital Twin in the modern industry. This paper will specify and highlight how manufacturing processes can benefit from the use of the Digital Twin concept.

The erratic modern world introduces challenges to all sectors of societies and potentially introduces additional inequality. One possibility to decrease the educational inequality is to provide remote access to facilities that enable learning and training. A similar approach of remote resource usage can be utilized in resource-poor situations where the required equipment is available at other premises. The concept of Industry 5.0 (i5.0) focuses on a human-centric approach, enabling technologies to concentrate on human–machine interaction and emphasizing the importance of societal values. This paper introduces a novel robotics teleoperation platform supported by the i5.0. The platform reduces inequality and allows usage and learning of robotics remotely independently of time and location. The platform is based on digital twins with bi-directional data transmission between the physical and digital counterparts. The proposed system allows teleoperation, remote programming, and near real-time monitoring of controlled robots, robot time scheduling, and social interaction between users. The system design and implementation are described in detail, followed by experimental results.
