Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to submit your latest research results to our
Special Section on Digital Twin for Industrial Internet of Things at
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics.
Industrial IoT can revolutionize industrial operation by interconnecting
numerous machines, analytics sectors, and people at work. Through a deep
cooperation of these components, industrial IoT brings new business
opportunities and incredible productivity to applications such as smart
robotics, future factories, and automotive manufacturing. The success of
industrial IoT relies on the dynamic perception and intelligent
decision-making, which is difficult to conceive due to the heterogeneous
industrial devices, the complex industrial environment, and the
sophisticated business operation strategy. Digital twin, as an emerging
digitalization technology, provides a feasible solution to capture the
complex industrial environment and make predictive strategies. It builds
a virtual representation of industrial entities and manufacturing
process, updated with the physical entities at a specified fidelity and
frequency. For example, for industrial manufacturers, digital twins can
create digital models of substantial machines, to help us make holistic
understanding of how these machines work, make possible modification or
predictive maintenance, and take effective actions before devoting much
resources and expenditure.
The integration of digital twins and the industrial IoT enables a
digital revolution of industrial automation. Researchers from industry
and academia have focused on the virtualization and digitalization of
industrial objects, while there are yet a number of challenges like
high-fidelity modularity of digital twins, synchronization between
digital and physical objects, interaction and networking among digital
twins, scalable and resilient design of digital twin for industrial IoT.
To fill the gap, this special section solicits high quality and
unpublished work on recent advances in Digital Twins for Industrial IoT.
