Multi-Agent Digital Twins for Predictive Maintenance: A Systematic Review

publication · 2026-07-27

A systematic review published on arXiv examines the integration of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and Digital Twins for predictive maintenance in Industry 4.0. The study analyzes over 547 papers from high-impact journals including IEEE Transactions, Nature, Elsevier, and MDPI. It establishes a taxonomy of hybrid architectures, identifies persistent technological bottlenecks, and formulates three open research questions regarding AI deployment on resource-constrained micro-devices, dynamic adaptability, and inter-agent coordination. The review highlights the need for intelligent architectures capable of autonomous decision-making in distributed industrial environments.
