As one of the alternatives to solve the problem of unstable food supply and demand imbalance caused by abnormal climate change, the need for plant factories is increasing. Airflow in plant factory is recognized as one of important factor of plant which influence transpiration and heat transfer. On the other hand, Digital Twin (DT) is getting attention as a means of providing various services that are impossible only with the real system by replicating the real system in the virtual world. This study aimed to develop a digital twin model for airflow prediction that can predict airflow in various situations by applying the concept of digital twin to a plant factory in operation. To this end, first, the mathematical formalism of the digital twin model for airflow analysis in plant factories is presented, and based on this, the information necessary for airflow prediction modeling of a plant factory in operation is specified. Then, the shape of the plant factory is implemented in CAD and the DT model is developed by combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) components for airflow behavior analysis. Finally, the DT model for high-accuracy airflow prediction is completed through the validation of the model and the machine learning-based calibration process by comparing the simulation analysis result of the DT model with the actual airflow value collected from the plant factory.

In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, smart construction is actively researched, in the domestic construction field, and one of the key elements in this field is Building Information Modeling(BIM). In Korea, smart construction is being implemented through BIM-based digitization and intelligence. The geotechnical engineering field should also prepare for the introduction of BIM. In this study, the concept and application status of GeoBIM were identified, and the direction of future research was presented. This study is a part of the study "Establishment of GeoBIM-based Digital Twin Maintenance System" in the current "Technology Development for Establishment of Jeju Ground Collapse Response System for Safe Road Operation". The subject and scope of the study is continuous excavation at caves located under roads in Jeju Island, and initial research is being conducted on Jaeamcheon-gul and Jeonggusu-gul. This study aims to build a digital twin through individual data construction and integration processes such as cave shape modeling using laser scanners, 3D stratum modeling using borehole information and geophysical exploration data, and modeling of surrounding conditions using drones.

Technologies that are leading the fourth industrial revolution, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber-physical systems (CPS) are developing and generalizing. The demand to improve productivity, economy, safety, etc., is spreading in various industrial fields by applying these technologies. Digital twins are attracting attention as an important technology trend to meet demands and is one of the top 10 tasks of the Korean version of the New Deal. In this study, papers, magazines, reports, and other literature were searched using Google. In order to investigate the contribution or role of geospatial information in the digital twin application, the definition of a digital twin, we investigated technology trends of domestic and foreign companies; the components of digital twins required in manufacturing, plants, and smart cities; and the core techniques for driving a digital twin. In addition, the contributing contents of geospatial information were summarized by searching for a sentence or word linked between geospatial-related keywords (i.e., Geospatial Information, Geospatial data, Location, Map, and Geodata and Digital Twin). As a result of the survey, Geospatial information is not only providing a role as a medium connecting objects, things, people, processes, data, and products, but also providing reliable decision-making support, linkage fusion, location information provision, and frameworks. It was found that it can contribute to maximizing the value of utilization of digital twins.

Since COVID-19, the world's food shortage population has more than doubled from 130 million to 270 million. In addition, as various issues related to the food industry such as climate change arise, the importance of agriculture and livestock is increasing. In particular, it is still difficult to utilize data generated in these field. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explain the limitations of using data based on fragmentary analysis and the necessity of Digital Twin. The additional objective was to propose an architecture and necessary technologies of a Digital Twin platform suitable for agricultural and livestock. It also proposed a Digital Twin-based service that could be used in the near future, such as labor reduction, productivity improvement, personalized consumption, transportation, and distribution by incorporating intelligent information convergence technology into facility horticulture and livestock farming.

This study proposes a digital twin implementation method through simulation so that the manufacturing process can be optimized in a manual manufacturing site. The scope of the proposal is a knowledge management mechanism that collects manual motion with a sensor and optimizes the manufacturing process with repetitive experimental data for motion recognition. In order to achieve the research purpose, a simulation of the distribution site was conducted, and a plan to create an optimized digital twin was prepared by repeatedly experiencing the work simulation based on the basic knowledge expressed by the worker's experience. As a result of the experiment, it was found that it is possible to continuously improve the manufacturing process by transmitting the result of configuring the optimized resources to the physical system by generating the characteristics of the work space configuration and working step within a faster time with the simulation that creates the digital twin.

In this paper, we propose a building exploration drone that can be used for a digital twin-based building control system. The existing building control system using a fixed position sensor box has a problem that a management blind spot occurs. And because people patrol themselves, it takes a lot of human resources. In this paper, a drone equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor and a gas leak detection sensor is used to search the internal path of the building centering on the control blind spot. It also aims to solve the problem of the building control system by transmitting information in real time along with the video. In addition, it has a stable hovering function using an optical floor sensor and can be applied to an existing digital twin-based building control system. The results of this study are believed to be of great help in improving the quality of digital twin control systems using drones.

Digital Twin for Land(DTL) is one of the national work projects in the Korean New Deal but there aren't still any standards and technical guides which would need to construct the DTL. This study presents the policies to develop reference model and data model based on geo-spatial information standards to ensure interoperability for the DTL. In this paper, we first extract the implications through reviewing definitions of Digital Twin used in various literatures and international standardization trends on Digital Twin. In addition, this study attempts to conceptualize the DTL through various ways such as defining the DTL and characterizing DTL domains. Finally, we propose three policies on the standardization of the DTS: (1) DTS reference model by using RM-ODP, (2) three-steps hierarchical data models, and (3) model registry to manage the data models efficiently. The proposed policies of the study would contribute to establish a way for DTS's standards development over the coming years.

The adoption of smart construction technology in the construction industry is progressing rapidly. By utilizing smart construction technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling), drones, artificial intelligence, big data, and Internet of Things technology, it has the effect of lowering the accident rate at the construction site and shortening the construction period. In order to introduce a digital twin platform for construction site management, real-time construction site management is possible in real time by constructing the same virtual space. The digital twin virtual space construction method collects and processes data from the entire construction cycle and visualizes it using a 3D model file. In this paper, we introduce a modeling automation technique that constructs an efficient digital twin space by automatically generating 3D modeling that composes a digital twin space based on 3D spatial data.
