Barriers to Implementing Digital Twin Technologies in Industrial Settings

Józef Wiora, Alicja Wiora, Faisal Saleem
Abstract:
Recent review articles highlight an exponential rise in publications on Digital Twin (DT) technology. Despite its recognised potential, DTs have yet to achieve widespread practical use. Following a presentation of the state of the art and an original conceptual diagram illustrating the technology, this work presents the key factors contributing to the gap between conception and implementation. Using experimental data from a laboratory water system and a reliability-based perspective, this analysis examines the practical limitations of DT application. The findings indicate that broader use of DTs depends on the technological maturity and reliability of all system components, which still require further development.
