An Introduction to Digital Twin Standards

Abstract

Recently, both academia and industry have shown increasing interest in unlocking the potential applications of digital twin. As an emerging technology, digital twin builds a virtual representation of physical objects and makes predictive strategies. As compared with conventional simulation and modeling technologies, digital twin can ensure the high fidelity of the virtual model through continuous updating and self-learning. The emerging standardization of digital twin facilitates the development of digital twin, and will eventually realize the interconnection of data, models and services between different enterprises or areas. This article overviews the recent progress of digital twin standards, the progress of digital twin network, and the challenges for successfully deploying digital twins.
