Warehouse Digital Twin: Simulation Modeling and Analysis Techniques.

As an integral component of Industry 4.0, digital twin simulations have the potential to transform the material handling and supply chain industry. In this paper, we provide a digital twin framework for warehouse systems and the methodologies used to implement them. In addition, we present examples of practical digital twin applications in the warehouse environment. Finally we discuss some of the challenges that need to be overcome to ease implementation and expand adoption of warehouse digital twins.
