DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY

"Parallel Reflections: Unveiling Digital Twin Technology"

WHAT IS DIGITAL TWIN ?

A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle, incorporates real-time data, and utilizes simulation, machine learning, and reasoning for decision making.

HOW DOES A DIGITAL TWIN WORK ?

A digital twin is a virtual model reflecting a physical object. Equipped with sensors, it collects data on performance and applies it to the digital copy.

TYPES OF DIGITAL TWINS

Digital twins come in different types based on the degree of product magnification.

1. Component twins/Parts twins 2. Asset twins 3. System or Unit twins 4. Process twins

HISTORY OF DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY

The concept of digital twin technology emerged in 1991 with "Mirror Worlds" by David Gelernter. Dr. Michael Grieves applied it to manufacturing in 2002, while NASA's John Vickers coined the term "digital twin" in 2010.

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL TWINS

Better R&D Digital twins enhance research, design, and product refinement, leveraging abundant data for improved performance outcomes.

Greater efficiency Digital twins mirror and monitor production systems, optimizing efficiency during the manufacturing process.

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL TWINS

Product end-of-life Digital twins aid in determining end-of-life product processing, including recycling, by identifying harvestable materials.

APPLICATIONS

Digital twins find extensive applications in the following domains:

Power-generation equipment : Digital twins optimize maintenance for large engines like jets, locomotives, and turbines.

Manufacturing operations : Digital twins guide manufacturing stages, from design to finished product, encompassing the entire lifecycle.

APPLICATIONS

Healthcare services : Digital twins track patient health indicators, generating insights using sensor-generated data in healthcare services.

THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL TWIN

Digital twins are revolutionizing asset-intensive industries by integrating physical and digital views, constantly evolving to improve products and processes. Their potential is limitless.
