  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Advanced Information Systems Engineering Workshops (CAiSE 2022)

Abstract

Sustainable industry is a part of The European Green Deal, which aims to achieve the EU’s climate and environmental goals based on the circular economy. Digital twins are important technologies for realizing industry 4.0 and related sectors. In this paper, we looked at building the DTs for manufacturing, healthcare and construction industrial sectors in Industry 4.0 architecture to realize a sustainable industry.
