The Digital Twin is an Artifact of Modern Production Systems

Abstract

The development of modern production systems is taking place in the context of the transition to the concept of Industry 4.0. In these conditions, the competitiveness of production systems is determined by the volume and depth of implementation of digital technologies. These technologies include the digital twin. Recently, a lot of research has been devoted to digital twins. The use of digital twins by modern production systems offers many advantages, both technical and economic. This article provides a systematization of the concept of "digital twin", and also describes the organizational aspects of the development and use of digital twins in production systems designed in the form of a model.
