Abstract

Due to resource challenges, small and medium-sized companies can only conduct limited research into trend topics such as Digital Twins. Therefore, they are to a certain degree dependent on academic research. However, research in the context of academia might suffer from limited practical applicability in industry. A better knowledge of real-world challenges and needs by industry in the field of Digital Twins could bring academic research closer to reality. This contribution addresses this gap by analyzing and synthesizing 27 existing surveys and interviews on the topic of Digital Twins. Trends and needs are analyzed from multiple perspectives to derive actions necessary for future development.
