AUTO-TWIN is a new method for creating digital twins, which are digital replicas of physical systems. It aims to address the limitations of current system engineering models by introducing a breakthrough method for automated process-aware discovery towards autonomous Digital Twins generation.

This is done by adopting an International Data Space (IDS)-based common data space, which enables the automated process of creating digital twins, thus making it more efficient and cost-effective. Additionally, AUTO-TWIN integrates novel hardware technologies into the digital thread, which is a key component of creating digital twins, to create smart Green Gateways.
