The world is paying a lot of attention to digital twins to preoccupy future technological competitiveness. Digital twins can be used in various fields such as manufacturing, medical care, and cities. Various market research institutes predict that the market size of digital twins will gradually expand. Korea has also selected digital twin as one of the representative tasks of the Korean version of the New Deal and is promoting related policies. However, a common platform or standard for building digital twins is not enough. Interoperability is a very important characteristic for the purpose of creating new value through interconnection between digital twins rather than independently developing and utilizing digital twins. The Digital Twin Consortium is an international council for the effective development and utilization of digital twins, and is working to solve the problem of digital twin interoperability. The Digital Twin Consortium recently published the 'Digital Twin System Interoperability Framework', and this paper analyzes the digital twin interoperability based on it.

Purpose A digital twin is a digital replication of a physical system. Gartner identified the digital twin as one of the Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trend for three years from 2017. The rapid development of the digital twin market is expected to bring about innovation and change throughout society, and much research has been done recently in academia. In this research, we tried to explore the main research trends for digital twin research. Design/methodology/approach We collected the digital twin research from Web of Science, and analyzed 804 articles that was published during time span of 2010-2018. A total of 41 key authors were selected based on the frequency of citation. We created a co-citation matrix for the core authors, and performed multivariate analysis such as cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling. We also conducted social network analysis to find the influential researchers in digital twin research.

최근에 들어 디지털 트윈 기술에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 디지털 트윈은 컴퓨터 기반 시뮬레이션을 통해 물리적 현상이나 사물을 모사함으로써 대상을 최적화하는 기술이다. 현재는 특정 분야에 국한되는 프로세스를 최적화하기 위한 단일 디지털 트윈이 개발되고 있지만, 독립된 디지털 트윈만으로는 현실의 방대하고 복합적인 프로세스를 분석하기 어렵다. 이를 극복하고자 도입된 개념이 연합 디지털 트윈이다. 지금까지 연합 디지털 트윈의 연구 방향은 주로 도시와 같이 거시적인 대상을 최적화하는 방식에 중점을 두었다. 그러나 트윈이 상호 연계된다는 특성을 활용하면 기존에 구현되었던 단일 디지털 트윈의 모듈화도 가능할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 프로세스 최적화와 관련된 기능상의 관점에서 단일 디지털 트윈과 연합 디지털 트윈의 개념 및 상호 관계를 정립하고, 이를 토대로 연합 디지털 트윈을 활용한 단일 디지털 트윈의 모듈화 기법을 설계한다. 아울러, 실제 면 제조 공정 사례를 바탕으로 모듈화 기법을 적용한 모델을 설계함으로써 제안하는 방법론의 효용성을 논의하고자 한다.

The manufacturing industry is continuously pursuing advanced technology and smartization as it converges with innovative technology. Improvement of manufacturing productivity is achieved by monitoring, analyzing, and controlling the facilities and processes of the manufacturing site in real time through a network. In this paper, we proposed a new OPC-UA based digital twin model for smart factory facilities. A testbed system for USB flash drive packaging facility was implemented based on the proposed digital twin model and OPC-UA data communication scheme. Through OPC-UA based digital twin model, equipment and process status information is transmitted and received from PLC to monitoring and control 3D digital models and physical models in real time. The usefulness of the developed digital twin testbed system was evaluated through usability test.

Purpose: To solve urban problems, empirical research is being actively conducted to implement a smart city based on various ICT technologies, and digital twin technology is needed to effectively implement a smart city. A digital twin is essential for the realization of a smart city. A digital twin is a virtual environment that intuitively visualizes multidimensional data in the real world based on 3D. Digital twin is implemented on the premise of the convergence of GIS and BIM, and in particular, a lot of time is invested in data pre-processing and labeling in the data construction process. In digital twin, data quality is prioritized for consistency with reality, but there is a limit to data inspection with the naked eye. Therefore, in order to improve the required time and quality of digital twin construction, it was attempted to detect a building using Mask R-CNN, a deep learning-based masking algorithm for aerial images. If the results of this study are advanced and used to build digital twin data, it is thought that a high-quality smart city can be realized.

As the 4th industrial revolution progresses, the application of several cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and mixed reality (MR) in relation to autonomous ships is being considered in the maritime logistics field. The aim of this study was to apply the concept of a digital twin model based on Human Machine Interaction (HMI) including a digital twin model and the role of an operator to a ship. The role of the digital twin is divided into information provision, support, decision, and implementation. The role of the operator is divided into operation, decision-making, supervision, and standby. The system constituting the ship was investigated. The digital twin system that could be applied to the ship was also investigated. The cloud-based digital twin system architecture that could apply investigated applications was divided into ship data collection (part 1), cloud system (part 2), analysis system/ application (part 3), and MR/mobile system (part 4). A Mixed Reality device HoloLens was used as an HMI equipment to perform a simulation test of a digital twin system of an 8 m battery-based electric propulsion ship.

In recent years, technological developments have rapidly increased the number of complex structures and equipment in the industrial. Accordingly, the prognostics and health monitoring (PHM) technology has become significant. The safety assessment of industrial sites requires data obtained by installing a number of sensors in the structure. Therefore, digital twin technology, which forms the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is attracting attention in the safety field. The research on digital twin technology of structures subjected to seismic loads has been conducted recently. Hence, this study proposes a digital twin system that estimates the responses and arbitrary load in real time by utilizing the minimum sensor to a pipe that receives a seismic and arbitrary load. To construct the digital twin system, a finite-element model was created considering the dynamic characteristics of the pipe system, and then updating the finite-element model. In addition, the calculation speed was improved using a finite-element model that applied the reduced-order modeling (ROM) technology to achieve real-time performance. The constructed digital twin system successfully and rapidly estimated the load and the point where the sensor was not attached. The accuracy of the constructed digital twin system was verified by comparing the response of the digital twin model with that derived by using the load estimated from the digital twin model as input in the finite-element model.
