Digital Twin Integrated Reinforced Learning in Supply Chain and Logistics

Abstract

Background: As the Internet of Things (IoT) has become more prevalent in recent years, digital twins have attracted a lot of attention. A digital twin is a virtual representation that replicates a physical object or process over a period of time. These tools directly assist in reducing the manufacturing and supply chain lead time to produce a lean, flexible, and smart production and supply chain setting. Recently, reinforced machine learning has been introduced in production and logistics systems to build prescriptive decision support platforms to create a combination of lean, smart, and agile production setup. Therefore, there is a need to cumulatively arrange and systematize the past research done in this area to get a better understanding of the current trend and future research directions from the perspective of Industry 4.0. Methods: Strict keyword selection, search strategy, and exclusion criteria were applied in the Scopus database (2010 to 2021) to systematize the literature. Results: The findings are snowballed as a systematic review and later the final data set has been conducted to understand the intensity and relevance of research work done in different subsections related to the context of the research agenda proposed. Conclusion: A framework for data-driven digital twin generation and reinforced learning has been proposed at the end of the paper along with a research paradigm.

Design of IoT-Based and Data-Driven Mechanism to Drive Innovation in International Business and Finance Statistics

“…5Since the measures of the four level indicators of policy tendency, policy content, action area, and action target cannot be obtained directly from the information of the sample attributes, using the naming entity identification technology, the names of industries in the policy text are used as the secondlevel evaluation indicators for the policy "action area" and the names of institutions and professions are used as the secondlevel indicators for the "action target." us, a total of 47 secondary evaluation indicators were established [21].…”

Applications of Industry 4.0 digital technologies towards a construction circular economy: gap analysis and conceptual framework

“…From building scale to smart cities, Hämäläinen (2020) recommended the employment of dynamic digital twin to track smart cities' buildings and services performances, then automatically detecting and managing the reuse of elements after the lifetime comes to an end. Utilization of digital twin and IoT can minimize the supply chain lead time towards developing a lean, flexible and smart supply chain 4.0 system (Abideen et al , 2021). There are a few attempts to develop integrated platforms.…”
