 What are digital Twins?

Digital replica of a living or non-living physical assets.

Learns and updates itself from multiple sources.

Integrates IOT, AI, ML and software analytics with

spatial network graphs.

Allows analysis of data and monitoring of systems to

head off problems before they even occur, prevent
downtime.

Twins operational data, which is then synthesized with
the help of Artificial Intelligence(AI) algorithms
and analytics software.

End result is a virtual mirror model for

each physical model that has the capability
of analyzing, evaluating, optimizing and
predicting.

 Types of Digital Twin
Digital twin can be broken down into three broad types, which show the different times when the process
can be used:

 Digital Twin prototype (DTP) -This is undertaken before a physical product is created.

 Digital Twin Instance (DTI) - This is done once a product is manufactured in order to run tests on
different usage scenarios.

 Digital Twin Aggregate (DTA) – This gathers DTI information to determine the capabilities
of a product, run prognostics and test operating parameters.
Need, Scope and Scalability

Simulations allows the industry to predict

the behavior of a product and easily
navigate the final production process.

Digital twin technology can be used to

optimize operations of power plants, reduce
the cost of deploying new ones.

Simulations of materials and people

comprehend possible scenarios in the
logistics and take the best course of action.

 A catalyst to Industry 4.0

Continued…
 Companies can test and validate a product
before it even exists in the real world.

 Digital twins can be accessed anywhere,

enabling users to monitor and control the
performance remotely.

 Virtual representation of a physical object

has the ability to integrate financial data,
such as cost of materials and labor.

 Technology has enabled easier optimization

of products and processes and prompts
testing of the latest technologies using
digital replicas.
