Abstract: The paper carries out research on the application of digital twin technology in textile intelligent manufacturing, and analyzes the difference among digital twin technology and CPS and digital thread technology. Taking spinning intelligent factory as the example, the paper puts forward its reference model,the information model of equipment interconnection, model of the spinning process, and the framework of smart manufacturing unit based on digital twin technology. The paper also introduces the key areas of digital twin technology development in the textile industry, and puts forward that the textile intelligent manufacturing standard is the premise of digital twin technology in the textile industry. The deep integration of digital twin technology and textile industry will inevitably inject new development momentum into the textile industry.

Key words: digital twin technology; intelligent manufacturing; textile intelligent factory; reference model
