Definition

Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets (physical twin), processes and systems that can be used for various purposes.[1] …

Digital twins integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning and software analytics with data to create living digital simulation models that update

and change as their physical counterparts change. A digital twin continuously learns and updates itself from multiple sources to represent its

near real-time status, working condition or position. This learning system, learns from itself, using sensor data that conveys various aspects of its

operating condition; from human experts, such as engineers with deep and relevant industry domain knowledge; from other similar machines; from

other similar fleets of machines; and from the larger systems and environment in which it may be a part of. A digital twin also integrates historical

data from past machine usage to factor into its digital model.

In various industrial sectors, twins are being used to optimize the operation and maintenance of physical assets, systems and manufacturing

processes

A digital twin also can be used for monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics to optimize asset performance and utilization

A digital twin can be defined, fundamentally, as an evolving digital profile of the historical and current behavior of a physical object or process

that helps optimize business performance.

…a journey from the physical world to the digital world and back to the physical world.
