Digital twins

Description

Digital twins are accurate virtual representations of a physical object or process and serve as a digital counterpart to it. Thereby, they rely heavily on Internet of Things (IoT) technology to gain business insights based on various locations and sensor data. Digital twins provide the ultimate real-time visibility into the simulation process while leveraging AI and the power of cloud technology to bring IoT to life. In the aviation industry, digital twins are virtual, 3D replica to a real airplane or any parts of the airplane (e.g., an engine). Several aviation manufacturers, like Boeing, have incorporated digital twins into their avionics processes.
