N2 - The development of advanced information technologies are paving the digital transformation of manufacturing systems, of which Digital Twin-based manufacturing system (DTMS) has become a prevailing topic attracted ever-increasing concerns from both industry and academia. As a cutting-edge smart manufacturing system, DTMS can improve manufacturing accuracy and efficiency based on high fidelity simulation, near real-time monitoring and control in a cyber-physical integrated manner. However, the connotation and boundary of DTMS lack a clear definition and systematic analysis. Therefore, this paper reviews the existing Digital Twin reference models and implementation architectures on manufacturing system, and further proposes a reference model of DTMS. Based on it, the characteristics and operational mechanism of DTMS are analyzed from three perspectives: hierarchy, dimension, and scale. Specifically, the composition of DTMS is described from a multi-level perspective, the specific characteristics of the DTMS are analyzed from a multi-dimensional perspective, and the temporal and spatial characteristics of the DTMS under different application scenarios are depicted from a multi-scale perspective, respectively. At last, the potential research directions of DTMS are highlighted in terms of reusability, interpretability and adaptability. It is envisioned that this work can provide a clear understanding with insightful knowledge to attract more in-depth research of DTMS.
