A digital twin isn’t just a 3D model. It’s a living digital representation of a physical system — fed by real-time data, enriched with AI predictions.
What Is a Digital Twin¶
Three layers: Physical world (machine, building) → Data pipeline (IoT, SCADA) → Digital model (simulation, prediction). The key: real-time synchronization.
Use Cases with ROI¶
- Predictive maintenance: Failure prediction 2–4 weeks ahead, −30% unplanned downtime
- Process optimization: Simulate changes without risk
- Energy management: HVAC optimization based on occupancy prediction
AI in the Twin¶
A twin without AI is just a dashboard. With AI: anomaly detection, predictive analytics, what-if simulations. An LLM layer: natural language for querying.
Digital Twins Are ROI-Positive¶
Start with a single machine. Collect data, build the model, add AI incrementally. Payback: 12–18 months.
