Digital Twin technology is transforming industries by enabling real-time virtual replicas of physical systems, enhancing monitoring, predictive analysis, and operational efficiency. However, designing these systems requires expertise in software architecture, systems engineering, IoT integration, and data science.

This brief presents a systematic approach to building digital twins, starting with a domain-driven method that defines key concepts and ensures accurate synchronization between physical and virtual entities. It also introduces a design pattern-based framework to address challenges like scalability, real-time data processing, and IoT interoperability, offering practical and reusable solutions.

The session will also explore multiple case studies, each demonstrating the application of the approach in real-world scenarios. These case studies will show how the domain-driven and design pattern-based methodologies have been successfully applied to solve industry-specific challenges, enhance system capabilities, and optimize decision-making processes.
