INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL
TWIN
• Digital Twins are virtual representations of physical
objects or systems.
• These representations are created using real-time
data and advanced technologies like sensors, IoT
devices, and simulations.
• The goal is to provide a dynamic and real-time
reflection of the physical counterpart.
• Why Use Digital Twin?
1. Downtime Reduction

2. Inventory Management

3. What-if simulations

4. Operational Planning

DIGITAL TWIN ARCHITECTURE
Components of Digital Twin
1. Sensors: Distributed throughout the manufacturing process, sensors
capture operational and environmental data in the physical world.
2. Data: Operational and environmental data from sensors, combined with
enterprise data like the bill of materials, enterprise systems, and design
specifications, form a comprehensive dataset.
3. Integration: Integration technology facilitates communication between
the physical and digital worlds, ensuring seamless data exchange via
edge, communication interfaces, and security measures.
4. Analytics: Algorithms and simulation techniques analyze the
aggregated data, providing insights through visualization routines
within the digital twin application.
5. Digital Twin: The digital twin is an application that combines the
components to create a near-real-time digital model of the physical
world, identifying deviations and opportunities for business
optimization.
6. Actuators: Triggered by the digital twin, actuators in the physical
world execute actions based on insights, subject to human intervention,
completing the holistic loop between the physical and digital realm.
