What Is a Digital Twin?
A Digital Twin is a digital replica of a physical asset or process created in virtual space. It synchronizes with the physical world based on real-time data, deriving optimal operational strategies through simulation and analysis.
Three Types of Digital Twins
Applications in Smart Factories
Production Line Simulation
Simulate the production line in a virtual environment before introducing new products to identify bottlenecks in advance and design optimal line layouts.
Equipment Performance Optimization
Reflect real-time operational data from equipment in the digital twin to derive optimal operating conditions and reduce energy consumption.
Quality Prediction
Analyze the correlation between process variables and quality data to predict defects in advance and automatically adjust process parameters.
