Abstract: With the initiation of the fourth industrial revolution and the advent of information and communication technologies that reinforces the development of advanced technological solutions which engage data sciences, artificial intelligence, and cyber physical systems many long-established research concepts have been revived with in-depth applications within manufacturing plants. Thus currently the interest is turning more and more towards technologies and approaches that can combine between the virtual world and its increased capacities in computer sciences and processing, and the physical world with its complex systems and constantly evolving requirements. A relevant concept in this context is the concept of digital twins. Digital twins as defined by their founder Dr Michael Grieves are virtual replicas of a physical system that evolves within a virtual environment in order to mirror their real counterparts’ life cycle and evolvement within the physical environment for applications in numerous domains. This paper’s aim is to present a literature review of digital twin concept, its different development and deployment architectures, and its potential of application across Moroccan industrial ecosystems.
