#TECHNOFLARE4: DIGITAL TWIN

A Digital Twin is an integrated multiphysics, multiscale, probabilistic simulation of an as-built vehicle or system that uses the best available physical models, sensor updates, fleet history, etc., to mirror the life of its corresponding flying twin"

In other words, Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical devices that data scientists and IT pros can use to run simulations before actual devices are built and deployed. 

A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object or system. The technology behind digital twins has expanded to include large items such as buildings, factories and even cities, and some have said people and processes can have digital twins, expanding the concept even further. 

Digital twin was revolving in and around the world for many years by now. With the advent end advancement of  IOT ,digital twin has become even more lethal. Essentially ,now it Is coupling with some of the new technological disruptions and doubling its impact by spreading its wings across all the setors. A  digital twin is a computer program that takes real-world data about a physical object or system as inputs and produces as outputs predications or simulations of how that physical object or system will be affected by those inputs.

PROCESS OF WORKING:

The process of digital twin Is actually self explainatory.

Everything has its own process and so does DIGITAL TWIN. It is often used by the experts working in the sector of IOT and DATA SCIENCE.

First and Foremost, they understand the essence of digital world.

They understand the physics and maths and physics  behind it.

The core idea which revolves around digital twin is that it can harness input from source,which is generally sensors in case of IOT,which effectively gathers the data from the real world counterpart. This gives the twin the room to simulate the physical object in real time. It is essentially a prototype of a product.

Through out the development cycle of a product ,right from the design of any profduct to th edeployment ,digital twin can be used . To break it a nut shell, Digital twins give us a glimpse into what is happening, or what can happen 

APPLICATION:

Everything without its application isn’t worth it.

1]MANUFACTURING:

Digital has marked its huge Impact on the process of manufacturing and maintaing a a product. It improves and elevates the quality, efficiency and optimization.

2]HEALTHCARE:

Digital Twin has its huge mark on the HEALTHCARE. TECH+HEALTHCARE can create magical effect and helps to eradicate stuff.

There is a lack of diagnosis which the healthcare is encountering with from several years.

The primary reason for this failure is the current disjointed flow of information within our current healthcare system. We need to identify the informational gaps and synchronize all sources of patient data to create a complete picture of a patient’s needs.

Digital twin apparently arising to put down this formidable challenge to rest.

3] Automobile: Digital Twins can be used in the automobile sector for creating the virtual model of a connected vehicle. It captures the behavioral and operational data of the vehicle and helps in analyzing the overall vehicle performance as well as the connected features. It also helps in delivering a truly personalized/ customized service for the customers.

·       Retail: Appealing customer experience is key in the retail sector. Digital twin implementation can play a key role in augmenting the retail customer experience by creating virtual twins for customers and modeling fashions for them on it. Digital Twins also helps in better instore planning, security implementation and energy management in an optimized manner.

·       Smart Cities: The smart city planning and implementation with Digital Twins and IoT data helps enhancing economic development, efficient management of resources, reduction of ecological foot print and increase the overall quality of a citizen’s life. The digital twin model can help city planners and policymakers in the smart city planning by gaining the insights from various sensor networks and intelligent systems. The data from the digital twins help them in arriving at informed decisions regarding the future as well.

·       Industrial IoT: Industrial firms with digital twin implementation can now monitor, track and control industrial systems digitally. Apart from the operational data, the digital twins capture environmental data such as location, configuration, financial models etc. which helps in predicting the future operations and anomalies

UNBELIEVABLE ADVANTAGES:

The core idea behind digital twin to harness and extra t the dataand ,use alg and make reasonable prediction afor the production for the future.

·          Maintenance cost reduction & predictability – A digital twin provides alarms and notifications on irregularities in operations, thus helping in preventive and immediate action, and reducing maintenance & warranty costs.

·          Increase uptime & reliability of assets- Availability of real-time data visualization of operational parameters helps reduce risk and improve performance.

·          Design improvements & faster prototyping – Reduces cycle time by removing or reducing uncertainty, by virtualising performance at various design configurations.

·          Continuous data-driven optimization- Real-time monitoring and analytics with machine learning helps streamline operations & processes, which in turn improve customer experience.

CONCLUSION

Digital twin in a nutshell

Want a definition you can memorize? Try this on for size:

“The digital twin is the virtual representation of a physical object or system across its life-cycle. It uses real-time data and other sources to enable learning, reasoning, and dynamically recalibrating for improved decision making.”  

In plain English, this just means creating a highly complex virtual model that is the exact counterpart (or twin) of a physical thing. The ‘thing’ could be a car, a tunnel, a bridge, or even a jet engine. Connected sensors on the physical asset collect data that can be mapped onto the virtual model. Anyone looking at the digital twin can now see crucial information about how the physical thing is doing out there in the real world.
