报告题目：Digital Twins in Intelligent Manufacturing and Industrial Metaverse

报告摘要：

A digital twin (DT) is a dynamic virtual replica of an object, entity, or system that continuously synchronizes with data from its physical counterpart. It is developed and utilized throughout the entire life cycle, spanning from inception to retirement, effectively serving as a digital platform for testing, designing, and modifying real-world objects without direct interaction.

In the presentation, three fundamental capabilities of DTs—mirroring, shadowing, and threading—are examined, and the benefits derived from their synergistic operation are elucidated. It is emphasized that employing DTs in manufacturing systems can substantially enhance efficiency, quality, flexibility, and safety.

The presentation then introduces the concept of the industrial metaverse. Already thriving in gaming as a shared platform where multiple users can engage simultaneously, the metaverse is poised to expand into the industrial domain, where digital twins are increasingly adopted. The industrial metaverse's most compelling aspect lies in its potential to restructure the industrial chain and deliver added value to all stakeholders involved. It can be perceived as the evolution of industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, heralding a new era of interconnectedness and innovation.
