Digital twin allows the realization of a virtual model of a real system, enhancing the relevant performance (e.g., in terms of production rate, risk prevention, energy saving, and maintenance operation). Current literature presents many contributions pointing out the advantages that may be achieved by the definition of a digital twin of a water supply system. The Reference Architecture Model for Industry 4.0 introduces the concept of the Asset Administration Shell for the digital representation of components within the Industry 4.0 ecosystem. Several proposals are currently available in the literature considering the Asset Administration Shell for the realization of a digital twin of real systems. To the best of the authors\u2019 knowledge, at the moment, the adoption of Asset Administration Shell for the digital representation of a water supply system is not present in the current literature. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to present a methodological approach for developing a digital twin of a water supply system using the Asset Administration Shell metamodel. The paper will describe the approach proposed by the author and the relevant model based on Asset Administration Shell, pointing out that its implementation is freely available on the GitHub platform.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24051360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]],"date-time":"2024-02-20T12:50:26Z","timestamp":1708433426000},"page":"1360","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Digital Twin of a Water Supply System Using the Asset Administration Shell"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9077-3688","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvatore","family":"Cavalieri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Electronic and Computer Engineering, University of Catania, Viale A.
