This research develops Smart Twin PM, a six-layer digital twin system for predictive maintenance in manufacturing. By combining real-time data analytics, physics-based validation, cybersecurity checks, and smart scheduling, it reduces unexpected failures by 15% and false alarms by 20%, enabling proactive, trustworthy, and efficient machine maintenance.

This research explores next-generation digital twins—virtual representations of real-world systems that support decision-making through simulation and AI. By combining decentralization, privacy-preserving architectures, explainable AI, and scenario analysis, the work aims to help individuals and organizations evaluate alternative futures, make informed decisions, and build more transparent intelligent systems.
