A review of digital twin applications in construction

The emergence of digital twin technology presents tremendous opportunities for several industry sectors. A is defined as the virtual representation a physical asset that collects and sends real-time information. data from in uses this to create model object. Its functionality depends on bi-directional coordination between models. This likened cyber-physical systems, which seek provide worlds. While twins have found applications various industrial sectors such aerospace, manufacturing, engineering, their construction are relatively limited. Although some level progress has been made with application twin, it still lags other Virtual models constructed facilities developed used plan construct actual facility, changes facility being automatically reflected based vice-versa. shows promising possibilities design, construction, operation, maintenance facility. paper reviews development implementation compares its use industries while assessing benefits DT industry. systematic literature review including thematic analysis was employed address purpose study. Limitations associated existing emerging also identified. It concludes by highlighting importance sector.
