Abstract This chapter explores the realm of Digital Twins (DTs), delving into their fundamental concepts, underlying tools, technologies, and diverse applications across industries. DT, virtual replicas of physical entities, have gained prominence in real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization. The background section elucidates the evolution of digital twin technology, tracing its historical development and pivotal milestones. Key enabling technologies, the chapter examines how the Internet of Things and sensor networks, cloud computing, big data analytics, machine learning, and augmented reality have paved the way for digital twin implementation. Building and deploying DT is expounded, covering data acquisition, model development, visualization, and integration into operations. The applications segment showcases digital twin use cases in manufacturing, healthcare, energy management, and urban planning from real-world contexts. Despite their promises, challenges are explored, encompassing data security, scalability, and model accuracy. The chapter also charts the future landscape of DT, envisioning AI-driven predictive capabilities, cross-domain integration, and ethical considerations. By illuminating the implications and benefits of digital twin adoption, the chapter underscores their transformative potential in enhancing efficiency, reducing downtime, and enabling informed decision-making. Through an intricate interplay of concepts and technologies, DT emerge as a paradigm with profound implications for businesses, society, and sustainability. Finally, the chapter encapsulates the intricate tapestry of digital twin tools and technologies, offering a comprehensive understanding of their present and future significance while beckoning researchers to unravel uncharted dimensions in this evolving domain. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
