Cover Story: Digital twin technology is transforming smart factories by enabling real-time simulations and virtual models of physical assets. This article explores its integration with Industry 4.0 and sustainability, focusing on efficiency gains, optimized material usage and waste reduction. Case studies demonstrate how implementing a digital twin enables "what-if" scenarios to evaluate improvements. The results show that adding quality control at all assembly stations significantly increases efficiency and sustainability by reducing waste. This approach is effective in various manufacturing systems, especially those with high waste generation, and provides a scalable solution for sustainable production and improved decision-making in complex industrial environments. View this paper
