Databases, such as Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct, were searched. The titles, abstracts and keywords were searched for works related to digital twins, sustainable development and manufacturing processes. Moreover, the search was focused on real-time monitoring, data, decision-making etc. The keywords used in the searching process are specified in the methodology. Afterwards, quantitate and qualitative analysis were performed taking into account number of publication, year of publications, type of publication, based on keywords and available information concerning the papers. Deeper analysis was performed on available full texts of the papers. The main goal of this paper was to assess how much the specified problem is discussed in literature in the context of production organizations and real-time and what kind of topics are present in publications to indicate future research needs.}, title={Towards Digital Twins Development and Implementation to Support Sustainability – Systematic Literature Review}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/120922/6_Stadnicka_corr.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mper.2021.138531}, keywords={digital twin, sustainable development, systematic literature review}, }
