As a foundation of digital transformation, digital twins are critical for achieving smart manufacturing. Recent technology advancements, such as smart sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI), have enabled digitalization in manufacturing and facilitated the development of digital twins in manufacturing. However, because of its interdisciplinary nature and complexity, there remains a lot of confusion about what a digital twin is, how it can be implemented in real manufacturing systems, and how to ensure the digital twin developed is trustworthy. This paper discusses the manufacturing digital twin use cases and benefits, common challenges for implementing digital twins, relevant standards organizations and industry consortia efforts as well as their on-going efforts towards digital twin standards, focusing on the new ISO standard, ISO 23247 - Digital Twin Framework for Manufacturing, and discusses digital twin standards roadmap.
