Digital twins provide a powerful framework for simulating and optimizing physical processes in real-time, bridging the gap between the virtual and physical worlds.
The Virtual Mirror
In manufacturing, a digital twin is a virtual counterpart of a physical machine or entire production line. By feeding sensor data from the factory floor into the model, engineers can monitor performance and simulate "what-if" scenarios without risking downtime.
Predictive Maintenance
One of the biggest advantages is predicting when a machine will fail before it actually happens. This shift from reactive to proactive maintenance saves millions in lost productivity and prevents costly emergency repairs.
