最近的调查结果表明，数字孪生服务于多个选区。然而，范围和规模之间的困境需要一个成熟的参考体系结构，一套正确的技术，和一个合适的业务模型。数字孪生领域的大多数研究都只关注制造业，并提出了明确的框架和架构，这面临着通过敏捷过程支持不同集成级别的挑战。此外，没有已知的实证研究集中在探索数字孪生和大众个性化之间的关系。因此，本研究的主要目标是确定合适的工业4.0技术和整体参考架构模型，以实现最具挑战性的数字孪生应用。在这项研究中，一个数字孪生参考架构的开发和应用在一个工业案例。此外，数字孪生即服务（DTaaS）范式用于独特湿地的数字化转型，具有相当大的优势，包括智能定期维护，实时监控，远程控制和预测功能。调查结果表明，Digital Twin功能即服务与大规模个性化之间存在显着关系。
Recent findings have shown that Digital Twin served multiple constituencies. However, the dilemma between the scope and scale needs a sophisticated reference architecture, a right set of technologies, and a suitable business model. Most studies in the Digital Twin field have only focused on manufacturing and proposed explicit frameworks and architecture, which faced challenges to support different integration levels through an agile process. Besides, no known empirical research has focused on exploring relationships between Digital Twin and mass individualization. Therefore, the principal objective of this study was to identify suitable Industry 4.0 technologies and a holistic reference architecture model to accomplish the most challenging Digital Twin enabled applications. In this study, a Digital Twin reference architecture was developed and applied in an industrial case. Also, Digital Twin as a Service (DTaaS) paradigm utilized for the digital transformation of unique wetlands with considerable advantages, including smart scheduled maintenance, real-time monitoring, remote controlling, and predicting functionalities. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between Digital Twin capabilities as a service and mass individualization.
