Definition
Virtual replicas of physical objects processes or systems that enable real-time monitoring analysis and optimization.
Detailed Explanation
Digital Twins are dynamic virtual representations that mirror the structure behavior and context of their physical counterparts. They integrate real-time data from sensors IoT devices and other sources with simulation models to create living digital simulation models. These models can predict behavior optimize performance and detect potential issues before they occur in the physical system.
Use Cases
Manufacturing process optimization predictive maintenance in industrial equipment smart city planning healthcare monitoring systems and building energy management.
