Digital twin and simulation
A digital twin combines the real world with the digital world. By capturing real-time data, the digital twin understands the current state, simulates the future state and is a basis for optimization. It enables to detect problems early, can be used as a basis for in-silico testing and is an opportunity to come to improved controls.
