I gave this talk at the 'Digital Twin Conference' hosted by LH Corp at COEX, Seoul on August 8th, 2019.
Abstract: 'Digital Twin' is a digital replication of real world objects, processes, phenomena that can be used for various purposes. Digital twin concept backs to manufacturing industry in early 2000s for the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) purposes. It is based on the idea that a digital informational construct about a physical system could be created as an entity on its own. Definitions of digital twin emphasize the three important levels or characteristics. At first, there should be connection between real physical world and corresponding virtual world. To do this, Level 1 digital twin provides virtual 3D models. Secondly, this connection between real world and virtual world is established by generating (near) real time data using sensors or IoT. This is called Level 2 digital twin. Thirdly, Level 3 digital twin carries out certain analyses, predictions, and simulations using virtual 3D and (near) real time data. ‘Smart Spaces’ are interactive environments where humans and technology can openly communicate with each other in a physical or digital setting. Examples of smart spaces include smart cities, smart factories, and smart homes. ‘Smart Spaces’ is one of Garner’s Top 10 Tech Trends for 2019. As spaces are going through digital transformation with 4th industrial revolution, there are many attempts to apply digital twin technology to manage urban, spatial, and industrial issues around the world. Those attempts look set to play an increasingly important role in the creation of smart cities, smart factories, and smart homes. Bringing the virtual and real worlds together in this way can help to give better analysis, visualization, and simulation to the decision-making process. This will be a multi-way process with iterative feedback among stakeholders.
In this talk, I'll share my real experiences in carrying out digital twin and smart space projects. Also I’ll talk about what I’ve learnt from these projects.

What is the Digital Twin?
Digital twin is the ability to make a virtual representation of the physical elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of Things device operates and works. It's more than a blueprint, it's more than a schematic. It's not just a picture. It's a lot more than a pair of ‘virtual reality’ glasses. It's a virtual representation of both the elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of Things device responds throughout its lifecycle. It can be a jet engine, a building, process on factory floor, and much, much more.

An Investigation on Scalable and Efficient Privacy Preserving Challenges for ...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- Big data is a relative term describing a situation where the volume, velocity and variety of data exceed an organization’s storage or compute capacity for accurate and timely decision making. Big data refers to huge amount of digital information collected from multiple and different sources. With the development of application of Internet/Mobile Internet, social networks, Internet of Things, big data has become the hot topic of research across the world, at the same time; big data faces security risks and privacy protection during collecting, storing, analyzing and utilizing. Since a key point of big data is to access data from multiple and different domains security and privacy will play an important role in big data research and technology. Traditional security mechanisms, which are used to secure small scale static data, are inadequate. So the question is which security and privacy technology is adequate for efficient access to big data. This paper introduces the functions of big data, and the security threat faced by big data, then proposes the technology to solve the security threat, finally, discusses the applications of big data in information security. Main expectation from the focused challenges is that it will bring a novel focus on the big data infrastructure.
Here's how big data and the Internet of Things work together: a vast network of sensors (IoT) collect a boatload of information (big data) that is then used to improve services and products in various industries, which in turn generate revenue.

With the rise of such advanced technology, there will be always a question regarding its impact on our social life, environment and economy thus impacting all efforts exerted towards sustainable development. In the information era, enormous amounts of data have become available on hand to decision makers. Big data refers to datasets that are not only big, but also high in variety and velocity, which makes them difficult to handle using traditional tools and techniques. Due to the rapid growth of such data, solutions need to be studied and provided in order to handle and extract value and knowledge from these datasets for different industries and business operations. Numerous use cases have shown that AI can ensure an effective supply of information to citizens, users and customers in times of crisis. This paper aims to analyse some of the different methods and scenario which can be applied to AI and big data, as well as the opportunities provided by the application in various business operations and crisis management domains.
A Review Paper on Big Data: Technologies, Tools and TrendsIRJET Journal
This document provides a review of big data technologies, tools, and trends. It begins with an introduction to big data, discussing the rapid growth in data volumes and defining key characteristics like variety, velocity, and veracity. Common sources of big data are described, such as IoT devices, social media, and scientific projects. Hadoop is discussed as a major tool for big data management, with components like HDFS for scalable data storage. Overall, the document aims to discuss the state of big data technologies and challenges, as well as future domains and trends.
Big data represents one of the most profound and most pervasive evolutions in the digital world. Examples of big data come from Internet of Things (IoT) devices, as well as smart cars, but also the use of social networks, industries, and so on. The sources of data are numerous and continuously increasing, and, therefore, what characterizes big data is not only the volume but also the complexity due to the heterogeneity of information that can be obtained. The fastest growth in spending on big data technologies is happening within banking, healthcare, insurance, securities and investment services, and telecommunications. Remarkably, three of those industries lie within the financial sector, which has many particularly serviceable use cases for big data analytics, such as fraud detection, risk management, and customer service optimization. In fact, the definition of big data analysis refers to the process that encompasses the gathering and analysis of big data to obtain useful information for the business. This paper focuses on delivering a short review concerning the current technologies, future perspectives, and the evaluation of some use cased associated with the analysis of big data.

Height and depth gauge linear metrology.pdfq30122000
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Home security is of paramount importance in today's world, where we rely more on technology, home

ABSTRACT With the advances in new-generation information technologies, especially big data and digital
twin, smart manufacturing is becoming the focus of global manufacturing transformation and upgrading.
Intelligence comes from data. Integrated analysis for the manufacturing big data is beneficial to all aspects
of manufacturing. Besides, the digital twin paves a way for the cyber-physical integration of manufacturing,
which is an important bottleneck to achieve smart manufacturing. In this paper, the big data and digital
twin in manufacturing are reviewed, including their concept as well as their applications in product
design, production planning, manufacturing, and predictive maintenance. On this basis, the similarities and
differences between big data and digital twin are compared from the general and data perspectives. Since the
big data and digital twin can be complementary, how they can be integrated to promote smart manufacturing
are discussed.

I. INTRODUCTION
With the advances of the Internet, Internet of Things (IoT),
big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and
other new generation information technologies
(New IT) [1], it brought valuable opportunities to many
industries. As shown in FIGURE 1, more and more things are
connected to the Internet. Gartner predicted that more than
20 billion devices (most from the manufacturing industry)
would be connected to the IoT by 2020 [2]. As a result,
a large volume of various data are generated, which would
be over 40 zettabytes (ZB) by 2020 [3], including structured,
semi-structured and unstructured data. With powerful storage
and computing power of cloud computing, big data analysis
models and algorithms are run to organize, analyze, and
mine these raw data [4], [5], to obtain valuable knowledge.
Meanwhile, AI with self-learning ability become more and
more intelligent through data analytics.
In manufacturing, the big data involve a large volume of
structured, semi-structured and unstructured data generated
from the product lifecycle. The increasing digitalization of
manufacturing is opening up opportunities for smart manu-
facturing [6]. The manufacturing data are collected real-time
and automatically by IoT [7]. Through big data analysis
based on cloud computing, manufacturers could find the
bottlenecks of manufacturing processes, realize the causes
and impacts of the problems, and find the solutions. So that
the manufacturing processes are improved to enhance the
manufacturing efficiency, making manufacturing more and
more lean, and competitive. All the valuable information
from manufacturing big data is feedback to product design,
manufacturing, MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul),
etc. It can help manufacturing achieve the change to smart
manufacturing.
In addition, the interaction and convergence between the
physical world and the cyber world of manufacturing is
getting more and more attention. The digital twin paves a
way to cyber-physical integration. Digital twin is to create
the virtual models for physical objects in the digital way
to simulate their behaviors [8]. The virtual models could
understand the state of the physical entities through sensing
data, so as to predict, estimate, and analyze the dynamic
changes. While the physical objects would respond to the
changes according to the optimized scheme from simula-
tion [6]. Through the cyber-physical closed loop, digital twin
could achieve the optimization of the whole manufacturing
process [9].

FIGURE 1. New IT and their applications.
In conclusion, collecting and analyzing a large volume of
manufacturing data to find laws and knowledge, has become
the key of smart manufacturing. Meanwhile, the digital twin
breaks the barriers between the physical world and the cyber
world of manufacturing. However, whether are there any
similarities and differences between the big data and digital
twin? What are their respective advantages? Is it possible to
structure a bridge, which could bring big data and digital twin
together? How to merge them together? These questions are
all worth thinking deeply and being explored. Therefore, this
paper reviews the concepts of big data and digital twin, as well
as their applications in manufacturing. On this basis, they are
compared from different aspects.

tions of big data in manufacturing are discussed, as well

digital twin in manufacturing, are compared from dif-
ferent aspects, including the general and data per-
spectives, as well as their respective advantages are

discussed. And how the digital twin, big data and ser-
vices are joined up to promote smart manufacturing,
is illustrated.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. The concepts
of big data and the applications are reviewed in Section II,
followed by the digital twin in Section III. The comparison
of digital twin and big data in manufacturing is presented
in Section IV. In Section V, the fusion of them in man-
ufacturing is discussed. Finally, conclusions are drawn in
Section VI.
II. BIG DATA IN MANUFACTURING
In the era of Internet of Everything (IOE), more and more
physical devices are connected to the Internet, so that a large
volume of data are collected by the RFID, sensors, gate-
ways, etc., and transmitted through the IoT. Besides, mobile
Internet, social networking, e-commerce, etc., greatly expand
the applications of the Internet. As a result, various data are
rapidly booming. In various industries, decision making are
increasingly based on data and analysis, rather than experi-
ence. Data is becoming the important assets of human society,
and big data era has come [10].
A. THE CONCEPT OF BIG DATA
There is no doubt that big data is becoming more and more
important. However, there still are no unified opinions on the
definition of big data. In general, big data is to describe a
large amount of structured, semi-structured and unstructured
data created by data sources, which would need too much
time and money to be stored and analyzed to obtain huge
value. Therefore, for the data itself, big data refers to the
massive data that could not be collected, stored, managed,
shared, analyzed, and computed by regular data tools within
a tolerable time [11]. For the users of data, they pay more
attention to the value of data rather than the enormous quan-
tity [12]. Thus, big data is also interpreted as the ability
to quickly acquire the hidden value and information from
various and large amount of data. It goes beyond the general
processing capabilities of users.
Besides, big data can also be defined by the following char-
acteristics, which are Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Value,
i.e., 4Vs [13]. With regards to Volume, it refers to that the
data scale is very large, ranging from several PB (1000TB) to
ZB (a billion TB) [14]. As for Variety, it means that the size,
content, format, and applications of the data are diversified.
For instance, the data include structured (e.g., digit, symbols,
and tables), and semi-structured data (e.g., trees, graphs, and
XML documents), and unstructured data (e.g., logs, audios,
videos, documents, and images) [12]. Velocity means that the
data generation is rapid, and the data processing requires high
timeliness. In the face of massive data, velocity is the life of
enterprises. For value, the significance of big data is not the
great volume, but rather the huge value. How to extract the
value from massive data through powerful algorithms, is the
key to improve competitiveness. Furthermore, the character-
istics of big data are extended to 10Vs, i.e., Volume, Variety,
Velocity, Value, Veracity, Vision, Volatility, Verification, Vali-
dation, and Variability [15].

B. BIG DATA DRIVEN SMART MANUFACTURING
1) THE DATA SOURCES IN MANUFACTURING
In manufacturing, big data refer to the data generated from
the product lifecycle, such as design, manufacturing, MRO,
etc. [16], which are also featured with 4Vs, i.e., high vol-
ume (huge quantities of data), variety (the data itself comes
in different forms and is generated by diverse sources),
velocity (the data is generated and renewed at very high
speed), and value (huge value hidden in the data). Man-
ufacturing data are generally from the following aspects
(see in FIGURE 2):
(1) Manufacturing resources data, including a) equip-
ment data collected from smart factories by the
Industrial IoT technologies, with respect to the real-
time performance, operating condition, etc.; b) mate-
rial and product data collected from themselves
and service systems, such as performance, inven-
tory, context of use, etc.; c) environmental data
(e.g., temperature, humidity, air quality etc.), and so
forth.
(2) Management data from manufacturing information
systems (e.g., MES, ERP, CRM, SCM, and PDM)
and computer aided systems (e.g., CAD, CAE, and
CAM). Such data include, for example, designing
scheme, order dispatch, material distribution, produc-
tion planning, marketing and sales, service manage-
ment, finance, and so forth.
(3) Internet data, including a) user data collected from
the ecommerce platforms (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, and
Taobao) and social networking platforms (e.g., Twit-
ter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube), such as user
comments, preference, and behaviors, etc.; b) public
data from open websites (e.g., governments and public
service websites), and so on.
2) THE DATA PROCESSING
However, only raw data are barely useful. It must be
processed through several steps to extract the value
(see in FIGURE 2). Firstly, the data are collected by
various measures, such as IoT (e.g., smart sensors, and
RFID) [17], [18], API (Application Programming Interface),
SDK (software development kit), web crawler, etc. Because
of the characteristics of multi-source, heterogeneous, multi-
scale, high noise and others, manufacturing data need to be
cleaned before further being processed [19]. Then, the clean
data are integrated and stored for the exchange and sharing
of manufacturing data at all levels. Next, based on cloud
computing, the real-time data or off-line data are analyzed
and mined, through the advanced analysis methods and tools,
such as machine learning, forecasting models, etc. [20]–[22].
The valuable knowledge is extracted from the large num-
ber of dynamic and fuzzy data, enabling manufacturers to
deepen their understandings of various stages of product
lifecycle. Therefore, manufacturers will make more ratio-
nal, responsive, and informed decisions and enhance their
competitiveness.
3) THE APPLICATIONS OF BIG DATA IN MANUFACTURING
Big data has an unprecedented impact on the manufacturing,
which involve the following aspects, as shown in FIGURE 2.
(1) In the big data era, product design is shifted from
inspiration and experience-based design to data and
analysis-driven design. Through the analysis for big
data about user behaviors and market trend, designers
could accurately quantify customer demands, to trans-
late customer voices to product features and quality
requirements [23]. As a result of big data analysis,
the product design is significantly accelerated and opti-
mized.
(2) Before manufacturing begins, smart production plan-
ning is conduct in consideration of manufacturing
resources data. Based on the relationship of the global
data (e.g., available resources and capacities informa-
tion, material data, technological parameters, and con-
straints), the global and optimized planning program
could be rapidly generated, improving the planning
speed and accuracy.
(3) In the process of manufacturing, the real-time data
enable the manufacturing process monitoring, so that
the manufactures could keep abreast of the changes to
develop the optimal operational control strategies [24].
Besides, in virtue of big data analysis, the product
quality control and improvement are embedded into
every step from raw material to finished product. For
example, the early warning of quality defects, and rapid
diagnosis of root causes of malfunctions, could be
accomplished in real time to guarantee the high quality.
(4) Last, in virtue of the mighty predictive ability [25], big
data changes the traditional and passive MRO mode.
Through collecting and analyzing massive data from
smart devices or products, it takes the initiative to carry

FIGURE 3. Digital twin in manufacturing.
out the devices or products health monitoring, fault
diagnosis [26], and operation process optimization,
etc., for active preventive MRO [27].
C. RECAPITULAION
From the above, it may get out such conclusions: First of
all, the data is invaluable asset, which enable smart manufac-
turing. Secondly, the strategic significance of big data is not
to master massive data, but rather to acquire the value with
specific meaning through specialized processing. Thirdly,
the value of converged data is far greater than the single type
of data.
III. DIGITAL TWIN IN MANUFACTURING
Along with the rise of New IT, the scope, degree, functions of
the cyber world of manufacturing, and the integration with the
physical world, have been being strengthened [28]. Digital
twin paves a way for cyber-physical integration. It serves as
a bridge between the physical world and the cyber world,
providing the manufacturing enterprises with a new way to
carry out smart production and precision management.
A. THE CONCEPT OF DIGITAL TWIN
The concept of digital twin was firstly presented by
Grieves [29]. In general, virtual models of physical objects
are created in a digital way to simulate their behaviors in real-
world environments [8]. Therefore, the digital twin is com-
posed of three components, which are the physical entities in
the physical world, the virtual models in the virtual world, and
the connected data that tie the two worlds (see in Fig. 2) [29].
Digital twin reflects two-way dynamic mapping of physical
objects and virtual models [28]. Specifically, it is the virtual-
ization of physical entities. The physical operation process is
judged, analyzed, predicted and optimized in virtual means.
Corresponding, it is the materialization of virtual process.
After the simulation and optimization of product design, man-
ufacturing and maintenance process, it guides the physical
process to perform the optimized solution [9]. In the process
of interaction between virtual and reality, the integration of
data is an inevitable trend. The data from physical world
are transmitted to the virtual models through the sensors to
complete the simulation, validation and dynamic adjustment.
And the simulation data are fed back to the physical world to
respond to the changes, improve the operation, and increase
the value. Only on the basis of the converged data environ-
ment, cross analysis is possible.
B. THE APPLICATIONS OF DIGITAL TWIN IN
MANUFACTURING
As shown in FIGURE 3, digital twin integrates all manu-
facturing processes, which can achieve the closed loop and
optimization of the product design, manufacturing, and smart
MRO, etc. [9]
1) DIGITAL TWIN BASED PRODUCT DESIGN
In the design phase, it involves back-and-forth interactions
between the expected, interpreted, and physical worlds [30].
Based on digital twin, the digital representation (i.e., virtual
models) of the physical product is created in the interpreted
world (i.e., virtual world). The virtual models reflect both
the expectations in the designer’s mind, and the practical
constraints in physical world. Digital twin enables the iter-
ative optimization of design scheme to guide the designers to
iteratively adjust their expectations and improve the design
models, achieving personalized product design. In addition,
digital twin driven virtual verification can quickly and easily
3588 VOLUME 6, 2018
5. Q. Qi, F. Tao: Digital Twin and Big Data Towards Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0
forecast and verify product functions, behavior, structures
and manufacturability, etc. [31]. Taking advantage of digital
twin, it can accurately find the defect of design in virtual
world and take rapid changes, which make the improvement
of the design, avoiding tedious verification and testing.
2) SMART MANUFACTURING IN DIGITAL TWIN
WORKSHOP/FACTORY
Next, the proven product design is input into the smart
workshop or factory to be manufactured. From the input of
raw material to the output of finished products, the whole
manufacturing process is managed and optimized through
digital twin [6]. The virtual workshop or factory include
the geometrical and physical models of operators, material,
equipment, tools, environment, etc., as well as the behaviors,
rules, dynamics models and others [32]. Before they commit
to manufacturing the products, the manufacturing resources
and capacities are allocated, and production plan is devised
to predefine the manufacturing process. The virtual work-
shop or factory simulate and evaluate the different manufac-
turing strategies and planning until a satisfactory planning
is confirmed. In the actual manufacturing execution stage,
the real-time monitoring and adjustment of manufacturing
process are realized through virtual-physical interaction and
iteration. The virtual models update themselves based on the
data from the physical world, to keep abreast of the changes.
And the problems are rapidly found out and the optimal
solution is developed, through simulation in virtual world.
According to simulation in virtual workshop or factory, the
manufacturing process is adjusted to achieve optimal manu-
facturing (e.g., accuracy, stability, high efficiency and product
quality).
3) PRODUCT DIGITAL TWIN FOR USAGE MONITORING
The virtual model of product is created to establish the prod-
uct digital twin. The product digital twin would always keep
in company with the product to provide the value-added ser-
vices [33]. Firstly, the product in use is monitored in real time,
as the product digital twin continually records the product
usage status data, use environment data, operating parame-
ters, etc. Consequently, users can keep abreast of the latest
state of the product. Secondly, the virtual model can simulate
the operation conditions of product in different environments.
As a result, it can confirm what effects the different environ-
mental parameters and operation behaviors would have on
the health, lifetime, and performance, etc., so as to control
the status and behaviors of physical product (e.g., change the
operating parameters). Thirdly, based on the real-time data
from physical product and historical data, the product digital
twin is able to accurately predict the product remaining life,
faults, etc. [34].
4) DIGITAL TWIN AS ENABLER FOR SMART MRO
Based on the prediction for health condition, remaining life,
and faults, the proactive maintenance is carried out to avoid
the sudden downtime. Furthermore, when a fault occurs, with
the ultra-high-fidelity virtual model of the product, the fault
would be visually diagnosed and analyzed [35], so that the
position of faulty part and the root cause of fault are displayed
to users and servicemen. Thereby, the MRO strategies (e.g.,
disassembly sequence, spare parts, and required tools) are
developed to recovery the product. However, before starting
the actual MRO (both proactive and passive), the walkthrough
about MRO strategies would be executed in the virtual
world based on virtual reality and augmented reality. As the
mechanical structure of the parts and the coupling between
each other are faithfully reflected by the virtual models, it can
identify whether the MRO strategies are effective, executable
and optimal. Once the MRO strategies are determined, they
will be executed to recovery the product. Last, the data from
the different stage of product lifecycle are accumulated and
inherited to contribute to the innovation of the next generation
product.
C. RECAPITULAION
In conclusion, the digital twin brings together the data from
all aspects of product lifecycle, laying the data foundation
for innovative product design and the quality traceability.
Besides, the digital twin promotes the efficient synergies
between the different stage of product lifecycle, achieving the
iterative optimization. Furthermore, the digital twin shortens
the product development cycle, improves the manufacturing
efficiency and ensures the accuracy, stability, and quality.
IV. 360-DEGREE COMPARISON OF DIGITAL TWIN AND
BIG DATA IN MANUFACTURING
Both big data and digital twin has attracted a wide spread
attention, and are considered as the key to smart manufac-
turing. In order to evaluate the similarities and differences in
big data and digital twin, the different aspects are compared
as exemplified in Table 1.
A. THE COMPARISON FROM THE GENERAL PERSPECTIVE
1) THE SIMILARITIES IN DIFFERENCES
First of all, the origin of big data is from the exponential
growth of the data, which is the result of advance of infor-
mation technologies. While digital twin is to respond to the
desire for interaction and integration between the physical
and cyber worlds, which is inseparable from the rapid pop-
ularization and application of information technologies [34].
Therefore, although the initial focus of big data and digital
twin is not the same, the big background of both them is
roughly same, namely the advance and wide applications of
New IT.
All of the functions of big data are from data processing.
Through big data analysis, it can identify the behavior fea-
tures and patterns, and have an insight into the trends, to help
users make decisions. The prediction or optimization abilities
of big data need for training data set, or comparing with
historical results. While the functions of digital twin rely on

manufacturing.
ultra-high-fidelity virtual models, the digital twin can simu-
late the entire operation process independently, according to
the actual operating rules of the physical world. Compared
with big data, the digital twin can visually run and verify the
manufacturing process in the virtual world. However, from
their functions, although the implementation methods have
their own characteristics, both of them share a majority of
same functions. For example, both of them could predict and
diagnose the problems, as well as real-time monitor, optimize
and improve the manufacturing process.
In addition, the same functions lead to the similar fruit
effects. Both of them improve production efficiency, cus-
tomer satisfaction and precision of management, as well as
reduce the cost in their own way, promoting smart manu-
facturing. Moreover, they also extend the life of product and
equipment, reduce development cycle.
In conclusion, although big data and digital twin differ with
each other in detail, they are consistent with the overall direc-
tion of the background, functions, and effects. Therefore, they
have the foundation of cooperation with each other.
2) THE DIFFERENCES AND COMPLEMENTARITY
UNDER SIMILARITIES
With respect to the concept, the contents of big data are rel-
atively simple, emphasizing the large scale and value hidden
in the data. In order to extract the value from massive data,
big data uses advanced tools and algorithms different from
traditional ones [13]. Whereas, the digital twin is composed
of three components, of which data is an integral part. The
digital twin is more concerned with the virtual-real dual-
reflection. From the concept, although both of them involve
data, big data is more professional and efficient than digital
twin in data. Therefore, big data can serve for digital twin.
In the term of applications, both of them are applied in
every stage of the product lifecycle from design to MRO,
etc. However, compared with digital twin, there are barriers
between the various phases of lifecycle in the application of
big data in manufacturing. As the designer, manufacturer,
and serviceman, etc., may not be from the same company,
the data from a certain phase sometimes may only be used in
its own phase. Taking the interests and data sharing security
into account, it does not fully realize the continuous flow of
data in the product lifecycle. In contrast to it, the digital twin
can collect, record, accumulate, and comprehensively process
all the data from product design until retirement. It not only be
conducive to the design manufacturing, use and MRO of the
product, but also contributes to the next generation product.
Therefore, the digital twin can make up the deficiency of large
data to break the barriers in the product lifecycle.
As well, big data and digital twin share some key tech-
nologies, such IoT. However, big data focuses more on the
technologies about data (e.g., cloud computing, data cleaning,
data mining, and machine learning), while digital twin care
more about the technologies about cyber-physical integration
(e.g., simulation, virtual reality, augmented reality, and CPS).
The combination of their key technologies will be more effec-
tive for their application in the product lifecycle.
In conclusion, despite the different emphasis, both of
them have their own strengths. Moreover, their advantages
are complementary, to make up for their own deficiencies.
Therefore, they have the bonding point to cooperate with each
other.

B. THE COMPARISON FROM THE DATA PERSPECTIVE
The data are common content to both of big data and digital
twin. Their respective advantages in terms of data are ana-
lyzed as following.
1) THE ADVANTAGES OF BIG DATA OVER DIGITAL TWIN
First of all, the large scale is inherent in the concept of big
data. The data volume of big data is ranging from PB to
EB, even ZB. The abundant data means rich information and
knowledge. In contrast to it, the digital twin does not indicate
the specific quantity of data. In general, as an important
part of the digital twins, the data should not be insufficient.
However, by comparison, the data that are collected, stored,
managed, analyzed, and computed in big data, are certainly
more than digital twin. Therefore, big data is more suitable
for extracting more knowledge from larger volume of data.
In the term of multisource correlation, big data focuses
on the data attributes and highlight the relationships between
features. Big data is to find the correlation relationship and
knowledge through mining behavior features and patterns.
The digital twin focuses on the consistency of multi-source
data. It is to simulation and deduce the manufacturing pro-
cess. The inconsistency of data would lead to conflict. There-
fore, big data is more suitable for more varieties of data.
Besides, because the massive data cannot be processed by
regular data tools within a tolerable time, big data process-
ing has its advanced tools, algorithms, platforms, etc. While
the data processing methods is not specified in digital twin.
As the data is professionally processed, therefore, the velocity
of big data in data processing is more efficient than digital
twin.
In conclusion, big data is more professional and efficient
than digital twin in terms of volume, value, variety, and
velocity of data, which are consistent with the characteristics
of big data. It further deepens the role that big data can serve
for digital twin.
2) THE ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL TWIN OVER BIG DATA
As the digital twin is composed of three components, the data
sources of digital twin is different from big data. The data of
big data are from the physical entities, information systems
and Internet, which are all generated by activities in physical
world. The data in digital twin are not only from the physical
world, but also from the virtual models. In addition, some data
are derived from the fusion operation for the data from the two
worlds, such as synthesis, statistics, association, clustering,
evolution, regression and generalization. According to the
different data sources, the data acquisition tools are also
different. Although both of them share the same tools for data
from physical world (e.g., sensors, and RFID), digital twin
needs model data interfaces to collect data from virtual world,
which is not needed in big data in manufacturing. Therefore,
digital twin has more comprehensive data to be used.
As well, the data fusion of big data is the fusion of various
objects data in single phase of the product lifecycle, due
to the barriers between different phases. Whereas it is the
all elements, whole process, whole business data fusion in
digital twin. The digital twin can achieve the data sharing
and integration between different phases of product lifecycle.
Therefore, digital twin extends the range of application of
manufacturing data, and avoid the duplicate and waste.
With respect to the visualization, big data prefer to use the
two-dimensional and static tools, such as table, chart, graphs,
and file printing, etc. Because of the virtual models, the visu-
alization in digital twin is more visual, which is mostly three-
dimensional and dynamic, such as image, video, virtual and
augmented reality, etc. Furthermore, because the object of big
data is just data, in order to verify analysis results, it must
be through the physical execution process, or the simulation
from the third party, which is relatively slow. Whereas with
its own virtual simulation function, the digital twins can
complete the pre-verification of the results in virtual world.
Therefore, digital twin is more advance and convenient about
the visualization and result verification.
In general, from the data perspective, big data is more
powerful than digital twins in data, while digital twin is better
than big data in applications. Therefore, it is a better option
to develop digital twin with big data.
V. THE FUSION OF DIGITAL TWIN AND BIG DATA IN
MANUFACTURING
A. THE COMPLEMENTARITY BETWEEN BIG DATA AND
DIGITAL TWIN
As the manufacturing process becomes more and more com-
plex, it is difficult to quickly identify the problems arising
in the manufacturing process by traditional way. These vis-
ible and invisible problems in smart manufacturing, can be
reflected by the data. Big data brings more efficiency, sharper
insight and more intelligence to manufacturing. Besides, dig-
ital twin help realize the correlation and dynamic adjustment
between manufacturing planning and implementation, as well
as promote faults prediction, diagnosis and maintenance in
digital way. Although there are many differences between
digital twin and big data, they play the complementary roles
in the manufacturing.
As shown in FIGURE 4, big data could be considered as
an important part of digital twin. Without big Data, most of
functions of digital twin would be the castle in the air. And
without digital twin, the big data analysis and the actual man-
ufacturing process would not be in parallel. The convergence
of digital twin and big data can break the barriers between
different phases of product lifecycle, and shortens the product
development and verification cycle. Moreover, embracing
the concept of Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS), service-
oriented smart manufacturing receives extensive attention.
As an effective means, services enable numerous large-scale
manufacturing collaboration. Therefore, digital twin, big data
and services can be united to promote smart manufacturing.
B. THE PERSPECTIVE IN FUSION OF DIGITAL TWIN AND
BIG DATA IN MANUFACTURING
In the design phase, product innovation relies on the accurate
interpretation of market preferences and customer demands,
VOLUME 6, 2018 3591

FIGURE 4. The fusion of digital twin, big data and services in
manufacturing.
and the capacity to translate customer voices to product fea-
tures and quality requirements. The big data enables design-
ers to keep abreast of customer demands. Based on big data
analysis, the function structure and components of product
are designed in virtue of digital twin. With the different view
of traditional methods, the product prototype does not need
to be first manufactured to facilitate the manufacturers to
assess the design quality and feasibility. Designers can create
vivid simulation scenarios to predict the finished quality of
designed product, and identify the design defects in virtual
world. In this case, whether the design parts can be manu-
factured, whether the parts can be assembled, whether parts
interfere with each other, and whether the design scheme meet
the relevant specifications and functions requirements, can
be quickly verified. If the design scheme could not pass the
simulation testing, it must be redesigned in real-time. When
the product is redesigned, the big data would be used to
identify problems to improve design scheme. In the process
of product design, the required tools and algorithms are used
in the form of services.
In the manufacturing stage, first of all, hypernetwork based
manufacturing resource services supply-demand matching
and scheduling [36] are carried out to quickly find available
resources. On this basis, all the required resources are inte-
grated together for analysis and planning through big data
analysis. The production plan is simulated, evaluated, and
improved in virtual world. After acquiring the best production
plan, it is delivered to the physical world to implement the
actual production. Meanwhile, the real-time data is collected
from the physical world, to drive the virtual models to monitor
the manufacturing process, which are compared with plans.
If there are differences, big data analysis is used to find
out the reasons and develop solutions, such as adjusting the
equipment or improving the plan. In the iterative interaction,
it ensures that the production can be fully implemented in
accordance with the optimal planning. Besides, once the
design changes, the manufacturing process can be easily
updated, including updating the bill of materials, processes,
and assigning new resources. As a result, the convergence
of digital twin, big data and service, enables the production
planning optimizing and manufacturing process real-time
adjustment.
In the daily operation and MRO of the product, the virtual
models of physical products are synchronized with the real
state of the product through the sensors. The operation status
of the product, and the health status of the components, are
grasped in real time. In addition to the sensors data, product
digital twin also integrates historical data (e.g., maintenance
records, and energy consumption records). Through big data
analysis of the above data, product digital twin can contin-
ually predict the health state of the product, the remaining
life of the product and the probability of faults. In virtue of
big data analysis, product digital twin can also reveal the
unknown problems by comparing the actual product response
and anticipating product responses in specific scenario. Once
the hidden problems are found, or faults occur, the main-
tenance programs are simulated and optimized in the vir-
tual world, to facilitate the actual maintenance. Similarly,
the resources and capabilities, tools and algorithms required
in the daily operation and MRO stage are used in the form
of services. Therefore, the product life and the maintenance
efficiency are improved and maintenance time and cost are
reduced.
Big data analysis is responsible for analyzing all the data
required by smart manufacturing, while digital twin makes
up the drawbacks, which are that big data could not simu-
late and synchronously visualize physical process. Therefore,
the convergence of digital twin, big data and service, is of
great significance to smart manufacturing.
VI. CONCLUSION
Both of digital twin and big data play important roles in
promoting smart manufacturing. Digital twin enables man-
ufacturers to manage the real-time and two-way mappings
between physical object and digital representation, which
paves the way for cyber-physical integration. In combination
with the accurate analysis and prediction capabilities of big
data, the digital twin driven smart manufacturing will be made
more responsive and predictive and will be beneficial to more
reasonable and precise manufacturing management in many
aspects. Together they complement each other nicely to help
the development of smart manufacturing.
However, the smart manufacturing is very complex, as well
as its practical applications and dynamic evolution. This
paper preliminarily investigated the roles of big data and
digital twin in smart manufacturing. It still needs further
researches to improve and enrich related works by consider-
ing more factors and practical situations. Some further works
are pointed out and not limited to as follows:
(1) Considering the virtual-reality interaction environment
of the digital twin, the efficient whole elements, whole

business and whole process data integration and fusion
algorithm, models and platforms need future research.
(2) Considering the various demands of all parties involved
in service collaboration, the research on the compre-
hensive utility balance of manufacturing services is of
great significance to maximize the value of digital twin.
