Digital-twin predictive maintenance combines a model of the physical system with operational data and machine learning. It is attractive for research because it connects physics, sensors, data analytics and decision support.
Digital-twin architecture
A practical architecture includes a physical or simulation model, data-acquisition layer, feature processing, health estimation and a decision layer for alarms or maintenance planning.
AI tasks
Models may perform anomaly detection, fault classification, remaining useful life prediction or degradation forecasting. The choice depends on available labels and operating data.
Engineering integration
MATLAB, Python, ANSYS, COMSOL or domain-specific simulators can generate synthetic or physics-informed data, which can then be fused with measured datasets.
Research evaluation
Accuracy alone is not enough. Robustness to load changes, explainability, computational cost and transfer to unseen operating conditions strengthen the study.
