1. A computer-implemented method for archiving a digital twin associated with a physical asset, the computer-implemented method comprising:
monitoring, by one or more processors, for data sent from an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor associated with the physical asset;
determining, by one or more processors, based on the data or lack of data received from the IoT sensor, that a pre-configured threshold, for decommissioning the physical asset and archiving the digital twin, is met;
reviewing, by one or more processors, a digital twin agreement for the digital twin;
determining, by one or more processors, based on the digital twin agreement, whether a set of parties of the digital twin agreement are required to approve the archival of the digital twin associated with the physical asset;
archiving, by one or more processors, the digital twin; and
responsive to receiving new data from the IoT sensor associated with the physical asset, in which the new data is associated with usage of the physical asset, reversing, by one or more processors, the archiving of the digital twin.
