Digital Twin Technology for Tool Condition Monitoring: A Review of Recent Research

Abstract

This research review article examines the use of Digital Twin technology (DT) in Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM). DT is a powerful technology that enables the creation of an exact digital replica of real-world entities, such as machines and tools, providing an integrated representation of various physical and virtual components. By combining real-time data with digital models of the tools, DT can be used to monitor tool condition and detect potential issues before they become serious. This review article surveys recent research on the use of DT in TCM and discusses the challenges that need to be addressed in order to make DT a viable solution for industrial tool monitoring. It also provides insight into future directions for research in this field. The results of this review suggest that DT has great potential to revolutionize tool monitoring in the manufacturing industry.
