“…The proposed model requires the support of 5G connectivity and facilitates the enhanced automation and control by a set of intelligent functions, such as task learning, prediction, and optimization. In [139], a concept of edge-based DT is presented to assess the ecological sustainability of a cross-company production network. The sustainability indicators are computed locally, which can reduce the data communications.…”

The next generation (6G) wireless systems aim to cater to the Internet of Everything (IoE) and revolutionize customer services and applications to a fully intelligent and autonomous system. To achieve this, the digital twin edge network (DITEN) is proposed to combine mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC) and digital twin (DT), thereby improving the network performance such as throughput and security, and reducing the cost of communication, computation, and caching. In DITENs, the network status can be continuously monitored, and based on the obtained network states, the networking schemes, such as routing and resource management, can be studied in the established DITENs from a centralized perspective. In this survey, we present a comprehensive overview of DITEN for 6G. First, we present the fundamental aspects of DITEN, including concept, framework, and potential. Second, a comprehensive design of DITEN is devised, including the DT modeling/updating, DT deployment, key issues, and enabling technologies. Then, the typical applications of DITEN towards 6G are provided, including the Internet of Things (IoT), vehicular network, spaceair-groud integrated network (SAGIN), healthcare, wireless systems, and other applications, along with the design of DITEN in each application, such as DT modeling, DT association, incentive mechanisms, and so on. Finally, challenges and open issues are discussed.

Collaborative approaches in sustainable and resilient manufacturing

2022

In recent years, the manufacturing sector is going through a major transformation, as reflected in the concept of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. The urge for such transformation is intensified when we consider the growing societal demands for sustainability. The notion of sustainable manufacturing has emerged as a result of this trend. Additionally, industries and the whole society face the challenges of an increasing number of disruptive events, either natural or human-caused, that can severely affect the normal operation of systems. Furthermore, the growing interconnectivity between organizations, people, and physical systems, supported by recent developments in information and communication technologies, highlights the important role that collaborative networks can play in the digital transformation processes. As such, this article analyses potential synergies between the areas of sustainable and resilient manufacturing and collaborative networks. The work also discusses how the responsibility for the various facets of sustainability can be distributed among the multiple entities involved in manufacturing. The study is based on a literature survey, complemented with the experience gained from various research projects and related initiatives in the area, and is organized according to various dimensions of Industry 4.0. A brief review of proposed approaches and indicators for measuring sustainability from the networked manufacturing perspective is also included. Finally, a set of key research challenges are identified to complement strategic research agendas in manufacturing.

The manufacturing sector is experiencing a profound transformation as reflected in the Industry 4.0 movement, combined with the growing societal concerns for sustainability. This trend has led to the notion of sustainable manufacturing. On the other hand, the increasing interconnectivity among organisations, people, and physical systems, supported by recent developments in communication technologies, points to the important role that collaborative networks have in the ongoing digital transformation processes. As such, this paper analyses the synergies between sustainable manufacturing and collaborative networks. More specifically, the goal is to analyse how the responsibility for the various facets of sustainability can be distributed among the multiple entities involved in manufacturing. This study is based on both literature survey and our experience in various research projects in the area and is organised according to the typical six dimensions of Industry 4.0. The work is complemented with a brief summary of proposed indicators to measure sustainability under this networked manufacturing perspective.
