Logistics is all about making decisions based on the impact of real or potential risks and opportunities, faster than one’s competitors. Logistics and supply chain networks are being modified to be agile, innovative, cheaper, and sustainable. Organizations must tackle volatile demand, uncertain supply, and constrained capacity to survive; hence, applying Industry 4.0 processes could improve production design and business models. The need for speed is the sole reason which has led to the digitization of freight logistics processes. The chapter elucidates the evolution of the concept, the characterization of the different components, and enabling technologies that are necessary to build a Digital Twin. Further, it discusses the role of this technology in making sustainable decisions in various sectors ranging from material to medical sciences. Based on the various aspects of Digital Twins covered, it examines if this technology is a viable opportunity to venture into freight logistics policy-making and infrastructure planning.
