“…The sensors and the selection and integration of these represent a separate domain in the development of a Digital Twin, which must be considered in parallel with the IT infrastructure. In order to maintain the focus of this contribution, it is therefore referred to preliminary work in this domain for further information [50]. As the interactions between the two domains cannot be ignored, the sensors are nevertheless listed here as part of the hardware in the physical space.…”

The integration of Digital Twins (DTs) is becoming increasingly important in various industries. This entails the need for a comprehensive and practical IT infrastructure framework. This paper presents a modifiable medium-level architecture that serves as a link between established reference architectures such as RAMI 4.0 and the pragmatic implementation of Digital Twins. The functionalities of an IT infrastructure are considered, and functional hardware and software components for fulfilling these are described. The proposed architecture is suitable for various deployment scenarios, including local, cloud and hybrid cloud–edge configurations. In order to improve the applicability of the medium-level architecture, a step-by-step procedure is also proposed, which helps to transfer the overarching requirements for a Digital Twin into a suitable IT infrastructure. Finally, the results are demonstrated by an exemplary application to a two-stage industrial gearbox.

“…To develop a Digital Twin, sensors and models of the physical twin must be considered additionally to the IT infrastructure. There are already approaches for a systematic approach in the literature [4,50]. However, it is rarely expedient to view these three domains independently as they are interacting.…”

The term “digital twin” is becoming increasingly prevalent in both research and politics with regard to infrastructure structures. Industry is making significant advancements in the fields of automation and autonomy. While numerous definitions are in circulation, some of which are identical, many are similar in nature. This work examines the digital twin from its original industry perspective and considers its relevance to the constructional engineering sector. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the current approaches in the Industry 4.0 and constructional engineering industry, examining the associated technical opportunities and challenges. The study compares the definitions, requirements and projects executed in this field. The technologies under examination are contrasted on the basis of their position within the data model. The preliminary findings suggest that some solutions for Industry 4.0 have already been developed for the construction engineering sector. However, it must be acknowledged that some solutions have yet to be fully validated.
