Digital Twin

Explore this topic

A digital twin is a digital representation or virtual replica of a physical object, person, or process. It is the result of a so"ware algorithm that harnesses real world data captured via sensors, laser mapping, or other internet of things (IoT) technologies that are attached to the source object or reference material. Ideally, any information that can be obtained by examining the physical object can, in theory, also be obtained from its digital “twin.” The virtual twin of the object is usually hosted in the cloud, where it connects to and mirrors the physical asset’s data – historical, current, and changes as they occur – enabling near real-time, remote access to the physical object’s actual conditions at all times.
