What is Digital Twin

Appville Softwares devliers digital clone/ digital twin for various industries

Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical devices that data scientists and IT pros can use to run simulations before actual devices are built and deployed. ... Digital twin technology has moved beyond manufacturing and into the merging worlds of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and data analytics.

Digital twin technology helps companies improve the customer experience by better understanding customer needs, develop enhancements to existing products, operations, and services, and can even help drive the innovation of new business. For example, GE's “digital wind farm” opened up new ways to improve productivity.

What are the types of digital twin?

The types are the digital twin prototype (DTP), the digital twin instance (DTI), and the digital twin aggregate (DTA). The DTP consists of the designs, analyses, and processes to realize a physical product. The DTP exists before there is a physical product

Digital Twin for Conveyor

The below video shows the digital twin of a conveyor model, running and the IOT values are fetched and showed with MQTT technology and the real twin and virtual clone/ twin is shown on the other side of the content. The real time values of the motor and status also changes realistic on the digital twin, as the real time values are changed.

Digital Twin with IOT

The video showcases, the usecase of Augmented reality, where the user shall be able to go inside the factory, of each state, and still be able to login to the industry IOT dashboard for each equipment. In this case, they can go into each factory, and the number of gearboxes are shown along with its respective IOT values along its sides. Here, the visulation is real and the IOT values shall be LIVE and updated every second, according to the feed.

Another feature that shall be updated in this, is the digitalization of the gearbox, where the assembly and disassembly, shall be able to show in a digital way. The user shall be able to see, how to disassembly and what parts to be expected, when it is opened. Also, the walls, are covered with videos, about that particular asset, which is selected, as a troubleshooting manual.
