Digital twins for building industrial metaverse.

INTRODUCTION

The concept of the metaverse, a virtual world where users can interact with a computer-generated environment, has received significant attention recently.

OBJECTIVES

This study aims to investigate the application and fundamental technologies of Digital Twins (DT) in the development of the industrial metaverse, to enhance factory production efficiency.

METHODS

The study adopts a literature review approach to explore the architecture and key technologies of the industrial metaverse, including DT, cloud rendering, virtual-real interaction, big data visualization, and the Internet of Things. Firstly, this study analyzes the architecture and key technologies of the Industrial Metaverse, which encompass DT, cloud rendering, virtual-reality interaction, big data visualization, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies are essential components in enabling the transformation from traditional manufacturing paradigms to intelligent manufacturing within the industrial metaverse. Secondly, this study investigates the key technological aspects that support DT in the industrial metaverse. It highlights the crucial role played by DT in facilitating the advancement and realization of intelligent manufacturing.

RESULTS

The study finds that DT plays a crucial role in the industrial metaverse, enabling the creation of virtual replicas of physical assets that can be monitored and analyzed in real-time.

CONCLUSION

The development of the industrial metaverse holds significant potential for the industrial sector, providing a platform for optimizing and improving manufacturing processes.
