Digital Twins
Digital Twins are virtual representations of real-world objects, systems, or processes that are continuously updated with real-time data. In essence, they act as living digital models that mirror their physical counterparts, allowing organizations to simulate, monitor, and optimize performance across various domains. These twins are powered by sensors, IoT devices, and data analytics, creating a dynamic link between the physical and digital worlds. For example, a digital twin of a manufacturing line can track machinery status, predict maintenance needs, and test efficiency improvements—without disrupting actual production. In 2025, digital twins are being used in industries like healthcare (modeling patient conditions or hospital workflows), urban planning (simulating traffic flow and energy usage in smart cities), aerospace (replicating aircraft components for diagnostics), and energy (monitoring grids or wind turbines). By running simulations in the digital twin environment, c...
