Summary
Digital twins are rapidly emerging as core enablers of smart manufacturing, offering cyber–physical integration through real-time synchronization of virtual models and physical entities. A digital twin leverages IoT sensing, modeling, and bidirectional data flow to capture manufacturing system dynamics with high fidelity, supporting real-time prediction, prescriptive decision-making, and adaptive control across the manufacturing value chain, leading to higher productivity, reduced downtime, and resilient operations. This seminar will examine the digital twin concept and architecture. We will discuss enabling technologies such as IoT, AI-driven modeling, model synchronization with live data, model predictive control, and edge–cloud continuum that support scalable deployment. The seminar will also present case studies in subtractive and additive manufacturing. Finally, the seminar will discuss future challenges in heterogeneous data integration, real-time model updating, uncertainty quantification, sensing-learning-control latency, and cross-domain orchestration for intelligent digital twins.
