Abstract
Intelligent digital twins, a game-changing innovation in Industry 4.0, portend a future where AI, 6G network architecture, and digital twins all collaborate for the benefit of society. Their reasoning makes the value of digital twins for cyber physical integration and better manufacturing processes more apparent. This exemplifies AI’s ongoing efforts to improve remote operations, network use, and distributed computing. The agents in this infrastructure and applications demonstrate how AI can transform user experiences, resource management, and system performance. By validating the algorithms performance in an experimental setting, we can see how AI-driven solutions may improve cyber-physical system (CPS) operations and how helpful algorithms like VAR can be. Industry 4.0 is about to undergo a paradigm shift with the convergence of 6G network infrastructure, digital twins, and AI. Artificial intelligence agents are great allies for modern industrial processes because they can understand and adapt to these processes, provide resilience, and drive better performance. The interaction of AI-driven digital twins within the framework of industry 4.0 has the potential to revolutionise industries and propel innovation to new heights.
