The Convergence of Digital Twin, IoT, and Machine Learning: Transforming Data into Action

Digital twins, Internet of Things (IoT), block chains, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) may redefine our imagination and future vision of globalization. Digital Twin will likely affect most of the enterprises worldwide as it duplicates the physical model for remote monitoring, viewing, and controlling based on the digital format. It is actually the living model of the physical system which continuously adapts to operational changes based on the real-time data from various IoT sensors and devices and forecasts the future of the corresponding physical counterparts with the help of machine learning/artificial intelligence. We have investigated the architecture, applications, and challenges in the implementation of digital twin with IoT capabilities. Some of the major research areas like big data and cloud, data fusion, and security in digital twins have been explored. AI facilitates the development of new models and technology systems in the domain of intelligent manufacturing.
