We are at the beginning of the digital industrial era and the digital twin is in its infancy. As these Digital twins become the ‘living’ models of physical entities that they represent, they embody asset ’memories’ and even ‘group consciousnesses. The next big thing in industrial services will be about accurately forecasting the future of physical assets through digital twin. Digital twins refer to computerized companions of physical assets that can be used for various purposes. Digital twins use data from sensors installed on physical objects to represent their near real-time status, working condition or position. The digital twin is essentially a living model of the physical asset or system, which will continually adapt to changes in the environment or operations and deliver the best business outcome. It can also be rapidly and easily scaled for quick deployment for other, similar applications.
