 INTRODUCTION

 A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-world physical system or

product (a physical twin)
 It serves as the indistinguishable digital counterpart of it for practical
purposes, such as system simulation, integration, testing, monitoring,
and maintenance.

 WHAT IS DIGITAL TWIN

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-world physical

system or product (a physical twin) that serves as the
indistinguishable digital counterpart of it for practical purposes, such
as system simulation, integration, testing, monitoring, and
maintenance.

 HISTORY OF DIGITAL TWIN

Digital twins were anticipated by David Gelernter's 1991 book Mirror Worlds.
The concept and model of the digital twin was first publicly introduced in 2002 by
Michael Grieves, at a Society of Manufacturing Engineers conference in Troy,
Michigan.
Grieves proposed the digital twin as the conceptual model underlying product
lifecycle management (PLM).

An Early Digital Twin Concept by Grieves and Vickers

The digital twin concept, which has been known by different names (e.g., virtual
twin), was subsequently called the "digital twin" by John Vickers of NASA in a
2010 Roadmap Report.[1 The digital twin concept consists of three distinct parts:
the physical object or process and its physical environment, the digital
representation of the object or process, and the communication channel
between the physical and virtual representations. The connections between the
physical version and the digital version include information flows and data that
includes physical sensor flows between the physical and virtual objects and
environments. The communication connection is referred to as the digital thread.

 TYPES OF DIGITAL TWINS

There are various types of digital twins depending on the level of product
magnification. The biggest difference between these twins is the area of
application.
It is common to have different types of digital twins co-exist within a system or
process. Let’s go through the types of digital twins to learn the differences and
how they are applied.

 THE TYPES

 COMPONENT TWINS/PARTS TWINS

 ASSET TWINS
 PROCESS TWINS
 SYSTEM OR UNIT TWIN

10
 COMPONCOMPONENTTWINS/PARTSTWINS

Component twins are the basic unit of digital twin, the smallest example of a
functioning component. Parts twins are roughly the same thing, but pertain to
components of slightly less importance.

11
 ASSET TWINS

When two or more components work together, they form what is known as an

asset. Asset twins let you study the interaction of those components, creating a

wealth of performance data that can be processed and then turned into

actionable insights.

12
 SYSTEM OR UNIT TWIN

The next level of magnification involves system or unit twins, which enable you to

see how different assets come together to form an entire functioning system.

System twins provide visibility regarding the interaction of assets, and may

suggest performance enhancements.

13
 PROCESS TWINS

Process twins, the macro level of magnification, reveal how systems work together

to create an entire production facility. Are those systems all synchronized to

operate at peak efficiency, or will delays in one system affect others? Process twins

can help determine the precise timing schemes that ultimately influence overall

effectiveness.

14
 HOW IT WORKS

A digital twin uses data from connected sensors to tell the story of an asset all the

way through its life-cycle. From testing to use in the real world. With IoT data, we

can measure specific indicators of asset health and performance, like temperature

and humidity, for example.

 ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS OF DIGITAL TWINS

Better R&D(Research and development)

The use of digital twins enables more effective research and design of products,

with an abundance of data created about likely performance outcomes. That

information can lead to insights that help companies make needed product

refinements before starting production.

Greater efficiency

Even after a new product has gone into production, digital twins can help mirror

and monitor production systems, with an eye to achieving and maintaining peak

efficiency throughout the entire manufacturing process.

Product end-of-life

Digital twins can even help manufacturers decide what to do with products that

reach the end of their product lifecycle and need to receive final processing,

through recycling or other measures. By using digital twins, they can determine

which product materials can be harvested.

17
 BENEFITS FROM THE USE OF DIGITAL MODELS

Physically large projects Buildings, bridges and other complex structures bound by

strict rules of engineering.

Mechanically complex projects Jet turbines, auto mobiles and aircraft. Digital

twins can help improve efficiency within complicated machinery and mammoth

engines.

Power equipment This includes both the mechanisms for generating power and

transmitting it.

Manufacturing projects Digital twins excel at helping streamline process

efficiency, as you would find in industrial environments with co-functioning

machine systems.

APPLICATIONS OF DIGITAL TWINS

19
 DIGITAL TWIN MARKET

• The rapidly expanding digital twin market indicates that while digital twins are
already in use across many industries, the demand for digital twins will
continue to escalate for some time. In 2020, the digital twin market was valued
at USD 3.1 billion. Some industry analysts speculate it could continue to rise
sharply until at least 2026, climbing to an estimated USD 48.2 billion1.

20
 CONCLUSION

Digital twin is a revolutionary technology that can help and Finding certainty in
such uncertain times can deliver major operational advantages for industrial
assets. Engineering teams are under increasing pressure to optimize
performance while reducing risks and minimizing emissions. All set against a
volatile global backdrop.

Digital twin technology, with engineering data at its core, is helping engineers
gain control over their assets. By connecting the right people to the right data
and the right processes, engineers gain greater end-to-end insights. They can
quickly identify the actions and strategies needed to deliver sustainable
performance improvements
