The article presents the latest state of the art in the field of advanced management of concrete plants with the support of digital twins (DT). Here, the discussion focuses on sensor data integration, real-time process monitoring, predictable maintenance, operation simulations and training in the context of the development of Industry 4.0. For the purpose of providing a constantly up-to-date virtual model of the concrete plant, i.e. of its DT, the necessary data is continuously collected from several system components. Computer analytics, which supports the DT of the concrete plant and is fed with real-time data, enables rapid adjustments in the production process, thus increasing its efficiency and reducing the amount of waste. With such characteristics, the DT of the concrete plant can also serve as an effective tool for training professionals, making it possible to deal with various scenarios without risk. In addition, the DT improve the transparency of operations and the predictability of concrete plant maintenance and increase its operational efficiency, which in turn leads to a reduction in costs and the achievement of higher levels of business quality. The article emphasizes the role of DT in the development of traditional manufacturing processes, such as concrete production. A representative example of an actual medium-sized DT-supported concrete batching plant is given, showing advances in the management of such a production facility.
