Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
PHM uses sensors to monitor the states of devices in real time, uses various models and algorithms to perform fault diagnosis, fault prognostics, and remaining life prediction, and creates the optimal maintenance plan. Digital twin is an essential technology for PHM. Digital twin refers to the process and method of using digital technology to describe and model the characteristics, behavior, process, and performance of physical objects. The combination of digital twin and prognostics and health management (PHM) holds immense potential for innovation and application. This Special Issue aims to illuminate the cutting-edge research in digital twin technology for PHM.
The convergence of digital twin and PHM in the context of Industry 4.0 offers novel avenues for optimizing system performance, predictive maintenance, and efficient operations. This Special Issue invites original research, comprehensive reviews, and case studies that explore this symbiotic interaction, fostering insights into their combined impact on technology and industry.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Integration of digital twin and PHM methodologies in CPSs;
- Applications of digital twin and PHM in smart manufacturing;
- Real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance using digital twin;
- Data analytics and AI techniques for enhancing PHM through digital twin;
- Security considerations in implementing digital twin and PHM in Industry 4.0;
- Economic and environmental implications of combined digital twin–PHM strategies;
- Human–machine interaction and user-centered design for digital-twin-ehanced PHM studies;
- Challenges and opportunities of synergizing digital twin and PHM.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
