Digital Twins (DTs) have recently emerged as a valuable approach for modeling, monitoring, and controlling physical objects in Industrial Internet of Things applications. Measuring the quality of entanglement between the digital and physical counterparts plays a crucial role in the adoption of DTs. In this paper, we propose a concise yet expressive metric for representing the quality of entanglement, namely Overall Digital Twin Entanglement (ODTE), based on two key factors: timeliness and completeness. Furthermore, the paper presents the development of our industrial testbed implemented on top of Kubernetes, where we show practical applications of the proposed ODTE metric by highlighting and discussing its benefits in realistic use cases.

Abstract
Digital Twins (DTs) have recently emerged as a valuable approach for modeling, monitoring, and controlling physical objects in Industrial Internet of Things applications. Measuring the quality of entanglement between the digital and physical counterparts plays a crucial role in the adoption of DTs. In this paper, we propose a concise yet expressive metric for representing the quality of entanglement, namely Overall Digital Twin Entanglement (ODTE), based on two key factors: timeliness and completeness. Furthermore, the paper presents the development of our industrial testbed implemented on top of Kubernetes, where we show practical applications of the proposed ODTE metric by highlighting and discussing its benefits in realistic use cases.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
