Over the last two decades Digital Twins (DTs) have become the intelligent representation of future development in industrial production and daily life. Consisting of over 50 chapters by more than 100 contributors this comprehensive handbook explains the concept architecture design specification and application scenarios of DTs. As a virtual model of a process product or service to pair the virtual and physical worlds DTs allow data analysis and system monitoring by using simulations. The fast-growing technology has been widely studied and developed in recent years. Featured with centralization integrity and dynamics it is cost-effective to drive innovation and performance. Many fields saw the adaptation and implementation across industrial production healthcare smart city transportation and logistics. World-famous enterprises such as Siemens Tesla ANSYS and General Electric have built smart factories and pioneered digital production heading towards Industry 4.0. This book aims to provide an in-depth understanding and reference of DTs to technical personnel in the field students and scholars of related majors and general readers interested in intelligent industrial manufacturing. |Handbook of Digital Twins | Computer Science
