What is a digital twin?
A digital twin is a precise digital representation of the physical world that uses dynamic data to simulate, analyse, monitor and optimise performance.
That dynamic part is critical, but it doesn’t mean the data has to be updated in real time. The digital twin only needs to be fed data at the cadence necessary for the object, process or system in question, whether that’s in real time, weekly or monthly. Different digital twins will have different data demands. All that matters is that the digital twin serves your specific business needs.
Digital twins deliver more than just quantifiable business benefits, such as cost reductions, increased revenue and decreased carbon emissions. They also provide a wide range of benefits that help businesses succeed:
- Cost savings by identifying issues early for optimal performance
- Decreased carbon emissions by simulating scenarios in the digital twin to identify and implement the most energy-efficient processes
- Increased revenue driven by reduced downtime, cost savings and accelerated go-to-market strategies
- Enhanced efficiency through insights and predictive analytics
- Longer asset lifespan supported by continuous monitoring and maintenance forecasting
- Improved safety and security with comprehensive monitoring and advanced analytics
- Higher customer satisfaction resulting from superior product quality, improved reliability and proactive service
Digital twins enable organisations to collaborate more effectively, simulate various scenarios and uncover insights that allow people to make better business decisions.
