Digital Twin for Integration of Design-Manufacturing-Maintenance: An Overview

Abstract Traditional design, manufacturing and maintenance are run managed independently under their own rules regulations in an increasingly time-and-cost ineffective manner. A unified platform for efficient intelligent design-manufacturing-maintenance of mechanical equipment systems is highly needed this rapidly digitized world. In work, the definition digital twin its research progress associated challenges engineering components were thoroughly reviewed. It indicated that concept technology provide a feasible solution integration as it has behaved entire lifecycle products. For aim, framework information-physical combination, which more accurate defect-free manufacturing, maintenance, advanced sensing technology, prospected.
