Objective: Digital twins (DTs) emerged in the wake of Industry 4.0 and the creation of cyber-physical systems, motivated by the increased availability and variability of machine and sensor data. DTs are a concept to create a digital representation of a physical entity and imitate its behavior, while feeding real-world data to the digital counterpart, thus allowing enabling digital simulations related to the real-world entity.

Hydraulics are mostly placed in ruthless environments, where they are consistently vulnerable to many faults. Hence, not only are the machines and their components prone to anomalies, but also the sensors attached to them, which monitor and report their health and behavioral changes.

The survival rates of melanoma from early to terminal stages is more than fifty percent. Therefore, having the right information at the right time by early detection with monitoring skin lesions to find potential problems is essential to surviving this type of cancer.
