implementation challenges

Digital Twins offer great potential for increasing efficiency in logistics. Digital supply chain twins (DSCT) enable data-driven decisions and optimize processes at location and network level. A study conducted during an expert workshop shows that companies are interested in DSCT, but challenges such as data quality, cross-actor data exchange and interoperability are hindering their widespread implementation. While pilot projects exist, market penetration remains low. Successful implementation requires standardized interfaces and contractual frameworks for data exchange. As a result, DSCT can make logistics networks more resilient and sustainable in the long term.
