Feedback to Design with Digital Lifecycle-Twins - literature review and concept presentation

In this paper, the authors propose a concept for optimizing the design process as well as product-related features and services through learning from Digital Twin data and establishing a continuous feedback loop from downstream phases of the product lifecycle to the design phase. As a first step, a systematic review of existing concepts in literature as well as a gap analysis is conducted. The presented concept details existing Digital Twin concepts and implementations by focusing on the specific objective of realizing Feedback to Design and integrating the lifecycle aspect.
