Abstract
The integration of Digital Twin technology with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) represents a transformative approach to enhancing the management of product lifecycles. Digital Twins are virtual replicas of physical products, processes, or systems, enabling real-time data monitoring and analysis. By embedding Digital Twin technology into PLM systems, organizations can achieve a more holistic view of product performance throughout its lifecycle, from conception to retirement. This integration facilitates improved decision-making by providing stakeholders with access to real-time insights, predictive analytics, and simulations that reflect the actual conditions of physical assets. Consequently, it enhances collaboration across teams, reduces time-to-market, and minimizes risks associated with product development. Moreover, the use of Digital Twins in PLM allows for better alignment of design, engineering, and manufacturing processes, ultimately leading to increased operational efficiency and reduced costs. Furthermore, the synergy between Digital Twins and PLM supports sustainability initiatives by enabling companies to analyze product usage and identify opportunities for improvement, thus promoting a circular economy. This paper explores the potential benefits and challenges of integrating Digital Twin technology with PLM, presenting case studies that highlight successful implementations. The findings suggest that organizations adopting this integrated approach can significantly enhance their product lifecycle management capabilities, resulting in improved product quality, customer satisfaction, and competitive advantage in the marketplace.
