The Connotation,Characteristics,and Implementation Path of Digital Twin Technology Driving the Integrated Development of Industrial Chain and Innovation Chain
The integrated development of industrial chain innovation chain(hereinafter referred to as"double chain")is an inevitable requirement under the pattern of"dual circulation"of domestic and international markets.However,its efficiency and collaborative effectiveness are affected by factors such as structural disparities within the chain,network fragmentation,and lack of policy coordination.Among the paradigm shift in innovation,digital twin technology exhibits a unique ability for dynamic process mapping and real-time bidirectional interaction,bringing in new perspectives to innovation management.Based on a systematic review of the connotation and the current state of integration of the industrial chain and innovation chain,as well as the characteristics and enabling functions of digital twin technology,this paper proposes a pathway for the integration development of"dual chains"driven by digital twin technology.It achieves full-process integration through digital standard expression and data fusion,transcending temporal and spatial dimensions to realize"dual chains"interaction and collaboration.Specifically,digital twin technology facilitates the integration of the entire process of the industrial chain and innovation chain,and the full-time and space interaction.It regulates the structural differences in operation mechanisms,cognition,or objectives among various participating parties along the"dual chains,"controls the fragmentation trend of industrial and innovation networks during their development,and addresses the non-collaborative issues in the design layout and resource allocation of industrial policies and innovation policies.This results in the reconstruction and upgrade of innovation management from a single-point optimization paradigm to a dual-chain collaborative paradigm.However,deficiencies still remain in the technological implementation,privacy security,and responsibility management of digital twin technology,on which further exploration and research is needed.
