Digital Twin As the digital world spreads at a high rate, it makes our life easier and more comfortable and also more dependent on the technologies Information technology nowadays spreads all over the workplaces, industries, homes, and many other places too So, there is another technology termed as Digital Twin which can be used in any field such as manufacturing, software development, healthcare industries etc.to reduce the cost by doing experiment on product virtually instead of physically What is Digital twin? A digital twin is a digital copy of feasible and realbodilyvirtues, procedure, human beings, locations, structures, and gadgets that can be utilized for various motives The technology that following digital twins has expanded to cover large items such as buildings, factories, and even cities; people and processes can also have digital twins Definitions of digital twin technology used in research foreground two important characteristics • First - Each definition highlights the connection b/w the physical model and the corresponding virtual model • Second - This connection is set by generating real-time data using sensors • Digital twins combines IoT, AI, ML, and software analytics to create living digital models that continuously learns and updates itself from multiple sources to represent its near real-time status, working condition, or position • This learning system learns by using sensor data that fetch various aspects of its operating condition; from human experts; from other similar fleets of machines; and from the larger structure and habitat of which it may be a part • A digital twin also combines historical data from past machine usage into its digital model History of Digital Twin The concept of digital twins was first put forward by David Gelernter’s 1991 book ‘Mirror Worlds,’ with Michael Grieves of the Florida Institute of Technology going on to apply the concept to manufacturing By 2002, Grieves had moved to the University of Michigan when he formally introduced the digital twin concept at a Society of Manufacturing Engineers conference in Troy, Michigan • However, it was NASA who first hold the digital twin concept, and, in a 2010 Roadmap Report, John Vickers of NASA gave the concept its name The idea was used to create digital simulations of space capsules and craft for testing • • The digital twin concept unrolls further in 2017 when Gartner named it as one of the top 10 strategic technology trends Since then, the concept has been used in an ever-growing array of industrial applications and processes Benefits • The interest of digital twin varies depending on when and where it is used For example, using digital twin to monitor existing products, such as a wind turbine or oil pipeline, can reduce maintenance load and save many millions in related costs • Digital twins can also be used for instance ahead of manufacture, bring down product faults and condense time to market Other cases of digital twin use can include process develops, whether that is observing of staffing levels against output or ranging a supply chain with manufacturing or maintenance requirements • Common benefits include raised dependability and obtain ability through observing and duplication to improve performance • They can also decrease risk of mishaps and unplanned freedom through abortion, lower maintenance costs through forecasting abortion before it happens, and make sure production goals are not strikes by arranging preserve, mend and the ordering of renewal parts • Digital twin can also provide continued improvements by examining contrive models and make sure product quality through performance testing in real time ...History of Digital Twin The concept of digital twins was first put forward by David Gelernter’s 1991 book ‘Mirror Worlds,’... when he formally introduced the digital twin concept at a Society of Manufacturing Engineers conference in Troy, Michigan • However, it was NASA who first hold the digital twin concept, and, in... of NASA gave the concept its name The idea was used to create digital simulations of space capsules and craft for testing • • The digital twin concept unrolls further in 2017 when Gartner named
