Investigating interoperability in Digital Twin Architectures.

• Digital Twin architectures comprise multi-integrated building blocks, which include components for data acquisition, management, and processing. Effective and error-prone data exchange between building blocks of the digital twin is the foundation of its successful implementation reflecting the growing importance of interoperability (i.e. ability of systems to exchange data and make use of the data that is exchanged). This paper examines communication technologies (such as protocols and standards) used for the development of digital twins for manufacturing identifying interfaces between physical counterparts and digital twins, as well as between different digital twins, with the ultimate goal of analysing data interoperability concerns. At this end, we use the assessment model “Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model” to define the applicable levels of interoperability for the identified interfaces and discuss the trade-offs for reaching higher levels of interoperability.
