Integrating Digital Twin Technology and Artificial Intelligence for Tomorrow's Businesses

Abstract

The integration of digital twin (DT) technology and artificial intelligence (AI) stands as a strategic element for businesses in today's era of technological transformation. This chapter explores the strategic imperative of integrating digital twin (DT) and artificial intelligence (AI) for material selection in the food packaging industry. DT, which creates a virtual replica of the physical packaging environment, can be coupled with AI to simulate and analyze material under different conditions. DT can assess the environmental impact of different materials throughout their lifecycle. AI algorithms can then guide the selection process towards materials that are not only functional but also sustainable and recyclable, aligning with the industry's commitment to eco-friendly practices. Industry-specific insights, including manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities, are explored as future advancements in the context of material selection.
