A digital twin is a virtual replica or representation of a physical object or system, such as a machine, building, or process. It is created using digital technologies, such as sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and data analytics, to capture and simulate the behavior, performance, and characteristics of the physical asset in real-time.
The digital twin allows for the monitoring, analysis, and optimization of the physical asset’s performance, as well as the prediction of potential issues or failures. This technology is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, and healthcare, and can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality and safety.
