description The manufacturing sector is one of the areas where the advantages of digital twin technology can benefit mostly. The product development, including its software, electronics, mechanics, and physical behavior, is included in the digital twin of the product. Furthermore, simultaneous data capturing from the sensors and data processing are also available in the digital twin. This enables each phase of the development cycle to be simulated, processed, and validated to discover the potential problems before the production of real components. In this study, the use of digital twin technology in the commercial production phase of the automotive production line with a case study is introduced. This study is one of the most comprehensive studies in the literature related to automotive production; therefore, it puts forth the power of using digital twin technology in that area. As the result of this case study, a 6.01% increase in the commercial production line efficiency and an 87.56% gain for downtime are achieved.
