Abstract: How to embrace digital twin technology as a foundational technology and integrate it with advanced technologies such as next-generation information and communication technology, big data analysis, and augmented reality is a crucial aspect of current digital transformation. When applying technologies like the Internet, artificial intelligence, and digitalization, we need to consider the national context, industry specifics, and the development patterns of enterprises. This keynote will share insights and experiences in smart manufacturing and digital transformation, analyze the relationship between digital design and digital twins, and explore key technologies and trends in digital twins.
