A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical object, system, or process that is continuously updated with real-world data. This allows organizations to simulate, monitor, and optimize performance in real time.
How Digital Twins Work
A digital twin connects three key elements:
- A physical asset (e.g., a building or machine)
- Sensors that collect real-time data
- A digital model that mirrors the asset
The data flows from the physical object to the digital model, enabling analysis and predictions.
Example
A smart building can use a digital twin to monitor energy usage, predict maintenance issues, and optimize heating and cooling systems.
