Abstract Digital twins (DTs) are new, dynamic virtual reality replicas that mimic physical reality moments- transforming many industries along the way. This chapter explores what DTs concept, practical applications, challenges, and what may lie ahead especially when applied in the smart wireless sensor networks (WSNs) landscape. To enable simple supervision, prediction, and enhancement of compound systems, computerized replicas need to helplessly watch each other during real-time integration with the World Wide Web, artificial intelligence, device learning, machine learning, and progressive statistics analysis. There is a detailed definition of DTs in WSNs in this chapter. It includes the primary components like physical and virtual sensors, communication infrastructure, data analytics, and user interfaces as well as other important aspects like data integration and management, which are crucial since they stress how efficient strategies would be implemented to handle heterogeneous data obtained from different sensor nodes. In addition, the chapter discusses how using DTs could improve predictive maintenance strategies by anticipating and then lowering downtimes; in effect, leading to lower maintenance expenditures. The chapter also discusses how important DTs have been in evolving Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, noting that they play important roles in automating processes through optimization and facilitating digital transformation in various industries. Moreover, upon increasing network sizes, concerns on how to scale DT solutions are addressed here while considering potential alternatives that may ensure scalability and the ability to support large-scale deployments as well. In conclusion, the chapter does not fully discuss DTs’ transformative nature but also goes a step further to give a comprehensive guideline on how they are incorporated into smart WSNs and other new technologies. A foundation has been laid down for upcoming research and advancement which seeks to solve the problems we have today as well as create room for new sources of innovation and productivity gains in many areas. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
