Abstract: Intelligent Fuzzy Edge Computing (IFEC) has emerged as an innovative technology to enable real-time decision-making in Internet of Things (IoT)-based Digital Twin environments. Digital Twins provide virtual models of physical systems, facilitating predictive maintenance and optimization. However, implementing real-time decision-making in these environments is challenging due to massive data volumes and need for quick response times. IFEC addresses this by offering a flexible, scalable and efficient platform for real-time decision-making. This paper presents an overview of key aspects of IFEC including fuzzy logic, edge computing and Digital Twins. The use of fuzzy logic in IFEC provides an adaptive framework for handling uncertainties in data. Edge computing enables localized processing, reducing latency. The integration of Digital Twins allows system monitoring, analysis and optimization. Potential applications of IFEC are highlighted in domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, energy management and transportation. Recent advancements in IFEC are also discussed, covering new fuzzy inference systems, edge computing architectures, Digital Twin modeling techniques and security mechanisms. Overall, IFEC shows great promise in enabling real-time decision-making in complex IoT-based Digital Twin environments across various industries. Further research on IFEC will facilitate the ongoing digital transformation of industrial systems.
