Digital Twin
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, system, or process. It's created using real-time data to simulate how the physical counterpart behaves, performs, and interacts with its environment.
Digital twins like Biosphere 3 can be used in applications like spatial computing, AI training, and forecasting.
How are digital twins used?
- Simulation: To test and model how a physical system will perform
- Monitoring: To oversee the performance of an asset and identify potential faults
- Maintenance: To make better-informed decisions about maintenance and lifecycle
- Decision-making: To help organizations make better decisions by simulating real situations and their outcomes
Where are digital twins used?
- Manufacturing: To optimize performance and monitor operations
- Healthcare: To design health-care spaces for efficient patient flow and staffing needs
- Transportation: To optimize performance and monitor operations
- Energy: To optimize energy usage and other building inputs
How are digital twins created?
- By incorporating real-time data from sensors
- By using analytical models to simulate behavior
- By using simulation and modeling techniques
