What is Digital Twin?

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-world process, system, or asset that can be used to monitor, forecast, and improve its performance. It enables simulation, analysis, and optimization of the physical asset's performance in real-time. A digital twin of a machine, for instance, can be used in a manufacturing setting to track performance, anticipate maintenance requirements, and maximize usage for maximum effectiveness and cost savings. It can be used in a number of different sectors, including transportation, healthcare, energy, and more.
