Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a retrofit DT (DT) system for legacy physical assets with predictive and autonomous process control. The system comprises an existing physical asset, a retrofit interface having one or more sensing devices and a controller, a communication interface, a data acquisition and processing arrangement, a DT engine, an analytics and decision module and an intervention module. The retrofit interface acquires physical-state and process parameters from the existing physical asset without requiring replacement of its primary operating components. The acquired parameters are validated and timesynchronised and are used to generate and update a corresponding DT state. The analytics and decision module analyses real-time and historical data and may employ machine learning to identify or predict abnormal operation, degradation, failure, maintenance requirements or process-quality deviations. Based on the determined condition, the intervention module may modify one or more operating or process parameters of the physical asset. Subsequent physical-state data may be used to update the DT and determine a further intervention, thereby providing closed-loop adaptive operation. The invention is applicable to legacy additive manufacturing machines, machining tools, industrial equipment, photovoltaic solar tracking systems and other physical assets.tion,
