Digital Twins for Production Logistics
Digital Twins (DTs) are one of the main opportunities to strengthen the overall competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises. Various technologies and technological concepts are discussed in production logistics, which can be classified as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), interfaces, decentralized applications, real-time localization systems, automatic identification, virtual environments including Digital Twins (DTs), and applications of data science such as machine learning, data mining, and big data analytics.

Digital twins in pharmaceutical manufacturing
The development and application of emerging technologies of Industry 4.0 enable the realization of digital twins (DT), which facilitates the transformation of the manufacturing sector to a more agile and intelligent one. DTs are virtual constructs of physical systems that mirror the behavior and dynamics of such physical systems. A fully developed DT consists of physical components, virtual components, and information communications between the two. Integrated DTs are being applied in various processes and product industries. Although the pharmaceutical industry has evolved recently to adopt Quality-by-Design (QbD) initiatives and is undergoing a paradigm shift of digitalization to embrace Industry 4.0, there has not been a full DT application in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Therefore, there is a critical need to examine the progress of the pharmaceutical industry towards implementing DT solutions. The aim of this entry is to give an overview of the current status of DT development and its application in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. State-of-the-art Process Analytical Technology (PAT) developments, process modeling approaches, and data integration studies are reviewed. Challenges and opportunities for future research in this field are also discussed.

Digital Twins in Tool and Component Wear Monitoring
Machine tools are widely used in modern manufacturing industries to produce high-quality products with increased productivity and efficiency. However, every machine tool is unique due to its individual characteristics (dynamics and tolerances). This individuality results from a complex interplay of different machine components, which may cause variations in the machine tool’s performance over time. The increasing trend towards individualism of products leads to smaller batch sizes, which requires production processes that can adapt quickly and efficiently to changes in product requirements. Digital Twins play a pivotal role in optimising processes and deriving actionable insights that extend beyond on-site calculations. These dynamic representations of systems demand real-time data on the actual state of machinery, rather than static images depicting idealized configurations.

Digital Versus Film Photography
The merits of digital versus film photography were considered by photographers and filmmakers in the early 21st century after consumer digital cameras became widely available. Digital photography and digital cinematography have both advantages and disadvantages relative to still film and motion picture film photography. In the 21st century, photography came to be predominantly digital, but traditional photochemical methods continue to serve many users and applications.

Digital, Green and Sustainable Technologies in Manufacturing Transportation
The digital and green transitions with the introduction of Industry 5.0 concept remain imperative, now with a human worker placed again in the center of the system to improve efficiency and productivity with a special contribution to general society. The implementation of digital technologies by Industry 4.0 standards implicated the removal of a physical worker from the production process, complete automatization of operations, and, therefore, a need for new skills and workplaces. This has created the most common barrier in Industry 4.0 implementation, which is the lack of human knowledge and skills to provide the transition and their capability to work in new positions of an Operator 4.0, included in control, optimization, and decision-making processes rather than manual work.
