Digital Twin
Simply put, a Digital Twin is a virtual model of a physical object. It spans the object's lifecycle and uses real-time data sent by sensors on the object to simulate the behavior and monitor operations. But it is more complicated to understand though. Digital twins can replicate many real-world items. Let's try to understand this with an example. Imagine you have a smart thermostat in your home. This thermostat has sensors that measure temperature, humidity, and occupancy. These sensors continuously collect data and send it to a cloud-based platform. Now this platform creates a digital twin of your home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. The digital twin thus created will do the following: Represent the physical asset: Virtual representation of the thermostat and its other components. Real-time data sync: Continuously update with real-time data received from the sensors present in the thermostat. If the temperature changes or someone ent...
