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
