Abstract
Multi-physical modeling combined with data-driven decision making is giving rise to a new paradigm, the "digital twin." The digital twin is a living digital model of a system or physical asset that continuously adapts to operational changes based on real-time data. When properly designed, a digital twin can help predict the future behavior of its corresponding physical counterpart. This paper presents a series of use cases that illustrate the role of a digital twin in different stages of the industrial product lifecycle. The use cases are implemented using 3D web technology for user interfaces and web standards (X3D and glTF) for data exchange between modules. The contribution of this work consists of a set of lessons learnt and some hints on future synergies between digital twin and 3D web technologies.
