  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Digital Twins for Digital Transformation: Innovation in Industry

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 423))

Abstract

Smart textile is a new direction in the textile domain that aims to integrate technologies in designing and manufacturing functional textiles. Fabrics. The advancement of digital textile innovation is gaining ground in textile technology. A digital twin is a promising technology for the classical textile industry and smart garments. Digital twin combines various technologies such as IoT, cloud computing, and 3D simulation, bringing innovations to design, manufacture, and deliver high-quality fabrics. This chapter starts with an introduction that outlines the state of the art of textile technologies, digital textile innovation, and digital twin technology. Then two architectures for digital twins in the textile and fashion industries are presented. Moreover, this chapter sheds light on some possible applications and challenges of using digital twins in the textile industry.
