As IoT Grows, So Do Digital Twins

A digital twin is a software replica of a living or non-living physical entity, and seems to be growing in importance now that internet of things sensors are able to provide enough data to create real-time virtual duplicates of machines and processes. 

Twins can provide a complete digital footprint of products from cradle to grave, allowing companies to detect physical issues sooner, predict outcomes more accurately, and build better products by maintaining a complete feedback loop from design to retirement.


Among the stated benefits are:

  • Lower spending on asset repair and maintenance
  • Predictive rather than responsive business decisions
  • Improved regulatory and industrial standard compliance
  • Better tracking of efficiency and productivity
