A Survey of the Impact of Digital Twin Technology on IoT, Industries, and Other Smart Environments

A developing technology gaining interest from numerous researchers in current commercial and academic domains is known as “digital twinning” (DT). Growth has accelerated thanks to technological advances, particularly in the industrial industries. Data from both physical and virtual machines are combined in both directions. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two examples of the many difficulties, applications, and technical integrations that come with digital twinning. This work thoroughly reviews and explores the notion of digital twinning. The study topics that were the focus of this survey were health care, business, smart cities, and weatherbased applications. It reflects how people currently view the research field. Examining enabling twinning technologies, open problems, and applications of digital twinning are made easier by this study.
