Digital twin
A digital twin is a detailed and up-to-date virtual representation of a physical object, process or system. It is a digital replica that simulates the behaviour and characteristics of the real object in real or near-real time.
Digital twins are created using data from sensors, cameras and other sources that monitor the physical object. This data is processed and analysed to build a virtual model that accurately reflects the current state of the object. As the physical object changes, the digital twin is automatically updated to reflect these changes. This allows users to monitor the state of the object, predict potential failures and make informed decisions to optimise its operation.
Digital twin technology is constantly evolving, and is expected to have an even greater impact in the future. As sensors and data networks become more sophisticated, digital twins will become even more accurate and useful. Digital twins have the potential to revolutionise the way we design, build and operate complex systems. They are a powerful tool that can help us create a more efficient, sustainable and secure world.
