The result? Greater transparency, optimized processes, and better, data-driven decisions. However, key challenges remain, including the difficulty of capturing the current operating status of the product. This issue of Industry 4.0 Science covers a wide range of topics, from the basic concept of the digital twin to its benefits in procurement and strategic product planning to its consistent use in supply chain management\u2014as a digital supply chain twin. Essential reading for anyone who wants to use technology in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All articles at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<!-- GITO_PUB_POST start list-container -->\n<div><ul class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-list-container\">\n<li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/digital-twins-for-production\/\">Digital Twins for Production<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">RAPIDZ \u2014 Resource analysis and process integration through digital twins<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/stag-bridging-data-shop-floor-it\/\">STAG \u2014 Bridging Data from Shop Floor to IT World<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">An automated mapping approach for improved access to shop floor data<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/intelligent-digital-twins\/\">Intelligent Digital Twins in Production<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Driving efficiency and accelerating agility in production planning<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/the-core-principles-of-the-digital-twin\/\">The Core Principles of the Digital Twin<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Transformingorder processes and the automation pyramid<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/digital-twins-in-logistics\/\">Digital Twins in Logistics<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Opportunities and barriers during implementation<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/digital-twins\/\">Digital Twins for Production and Logistics Systems<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Challenges and focus areas in implementation and use<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/customer-procurement-action\/\">Transforming Customer Impulse into Procurement Action<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">How digital twins strengthen customer orientation in supply management<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/strategic-product-planning-model\/\">Strategic Product Planning Model<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Digital twins for circular products and production processes<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/monitoring-carbon-footprint-sme\/\">Real-Time Monitoring of the Carbon Footprint for SMEs<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Sustainability in real time \u2014 from operation to finished products<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/virtual-exhibition-digital-twin\/\">Virtual Exhibition as a Digital Twin<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">A framework for decision-making for virtual representations<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/learning-factories\/\">Hybrid Learning Landscapes for Technical Concepts<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">The digitalization of training via practical concepts and targeted networking<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/digital-supply-chain-twin\/\">Digital Supply Chain Twin: The Pathway to Success<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">A catalyst for increasing competitiveness <\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<!-- GITO_PUB_POST end list-container -->\n\n<div style=\"display:block;text-align:center !important;margin:30px 0;\"><div style=\"display:inline-block;border:1px solid #555;padding:10px;max-width:600px;text-align:left;\"><h2 class=\"gito-pub-download-section\"><center>Access limited<\/center><\/h2><p>You are currently <strong>not logged in \/ not yet registered<\/strong>.<\/p><p>In order to download the desired file(s), you must be logged in and have an appropriate inclusive subscription.
