A Digital Twin or (Digital Twin in English) is a digital representation of an object or process. This representation can range from simple elements, such as a product or vehicle engine, to more complex elements such as power plants or entire cities.
In essence, a digital twin is a computer program that uses real world data to create simulations that can predict the performance of a product or process. These programs integrate Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things and software analytics to improve the result.
Therefore, they can be used through their predictive and monitoring capabilities to improve technological strategies, prevent very costly failures and, of course, test products and services.
Unlike common simulations (which study a specific product or process), a digital twin can study various processes and situations simultaneously, generating a complete virtual environment. And even with the help of sensors, it can receive and analyze data in real time, coming from the physical environment, to generate immediate actions through the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Digital twins are essential for the large-scale development of industry 4.0 as it allows automation and data exchange in production processes. Therefore, with the advancement of today's technology, digital twins have become a staple of modern engineering.
Have you ever considered creating a virtual version of your business or products with which you can accurately measure the results of your processes and/or implementation?
SAP offers a suite to achieve it and of course, we can help you make it come true.
