The term digital twin (DT) was coined by Vickers and introduced as “Mirrored Spaces Model” concept by Grieves in the first executive Product Lifecycle Management courses at the University of Michigan in 2002 (Grieves 2005, 2014, 2016). The concept of the DT has historically evolved from the aerospace industry and has since then been translated into many areas. This may also be a cause for the fact that there is no uniform accepted scientific definition of the term, yet. Nevertheless, the subject was researched intensively during the last decade. An overview on definitions found in literature is given in Table 1.

Definition A digital twin is a digital representation of an active unique product (real device, object, machine, service, or intangible asset) or unique product-service system (a system consisting of a product and a related service) that comprises its selected characteristics, properties, conditions, and behaviors by means of models, information, and data within a single or even across multiple life cycle phases.
Digital Twin Core Components and Dimensions Digital twins received particular attention in the context of the digitization of all areas of life and the increased use of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and cyber-physical production system (CPPS). All entities in a digitized world can collect, generate, or process data and information in the context of specific operational and use processes. This creates a digital shadow of these entities, that is, a sufficient image to describe the state of the entity abstractly and, over time, a necessary evaluation database to describe its behavior (Schuh et al. 2016). By incorporating the individual digital shadow of a product with generalized product description models that have been created during product
