A method is provided for monitoring a machine that is operable to perform a task. The method includes accessing a smart digital twin (SDT) of an instance of the machine, the SDT including discrete modules for storage of data and logic including models of the machine, requirements of the machine, and maintenance actions for the machine. The method includes performing data analytics on values of operating conditions of the machine to determine a state of the machine, using a model from the models of the machine and the logic. The state of the machine is compared to the requirements, and a maintenance action is identified based on the comparison and to cause a change in the state to maintain the requirements. The data of the SDT is updated to include identification of the maintenance action, and an indication of the maintenance action is output for performance on the machine.
