“…Digital twins are able to show the evolution of the process in each element of a production or processing machine without the need to halt the process or open the system to examine its state physically [ 30 ]. Faults in the system can be spotted significantly earlier thanks to intelligent data analysis [ 89 ], leading to more efficient approaches for predictive maintenance, which is made before faults or failures occur [ 105 ]. This can be considered in production planning and decrease down-times.…”

“…Support for Product Development: Digital twins are also useful during product and process design, where actual monitored sensor data allow to check for conformance of the product specifications with the design intent and customer requirements [ 8 , 107 , 108 ]. Additionally, tests on prototypes can be replaced by simulations on the digital twin, which results in a reduction of costs, time, and resources [ 77 , 105 , 109 ]. Regarding the complete product life cycle, digital twins also respect the disposal of the packaging and food remains and, therefore, consider sustainability aspects [ 105 ].…”

The food industry faces many challenges, including the need to feed a growing population, food loss and waste, and inefficient production systems. To cope with those challenges, digital twins that create a digital representation of physical entities by integrating real-time and real-world data seem to be a promising approach. This paper aims to provide an overview of digital twin applications in the food industry and analyze their challenges and potentials. Therefore, a literature review is executed to examine digital twin applications in the food supply chain. The applications found are classified according to a taxonomy and key elements to implement digital twins are identified. Further, the challenges and potentials of digital twin applications in the food industry are discussed. The survey revealed that the application of digital twins mainly targets the production (agriculture) or the food processing stage. Nearly all applications are used for monitoring and many for prediction. However, only a small amount focuses on the integration in systems for autonomous control or providing recommendations to humans. The main challenges of implementing digital twins are combining multidisciplinary knowledge and providing enough data. Nevertheless, digital twins provide huge potentials, e.g., in determining food quality, traceability, or designing personalized foods.

“…Digital Twin refers to the triad of a physical entity, a virtual entity, and the bi-directional data connections in between [7]. The virtual entity is a digital representation of the physical entity that contains all relevant properties, information, and states of the physical entity (i.e., the digital twin parameters) [28]. By leveraging computational techniques, the virtual entity allows monitoring and improving the performance of the physical entity [7].…”

This paper is concerned with the question of how novel digital technologies can be used to enable IT governance to better deal with the need for more agility, flexibility, adaptivity, and connectivity, as brought about by our modern day society. We propose to digitally transform IT governance, in particular making it smart(er) by following a data-driven approach. In line with this, we present a vision for digitally transformed IT governance in the form of the DT4GITM (Digital Twin for Governed IT Management) framework, which exploits the Digital Twin concept as it is already used in other fields to monitor, analyze, simulate, and predict the performance of real-world assets. The purpose of the DT4GITM framework is to serve as a reference architecture for a technological infrastructure based on the Digital Twin concept that connects three interrelated systems -the IT governance processes, the governed IT management processes, and the managed organizational IT assets.

“…The dream of conceptualizing, designing, testing, operating, and disposing of objects in an integrated virtual environment has existed for decades; proposals for an 'analytical hierarchy of models' for simulating complex battlefield scenarios have existed since the 1970s [1]. Further advancements have led to the concept of a digital twin but consensus on a definition of this concept has not yet been reached [2] [3]. In this paper, we apply a recent definition which considers a digital twin to be a simulation of a real-world object or system that exchanges data with its real-life counterpart and subsequently proposes behavior changes based on real-time data [3].…”
