What is digital twin technology?

Digital Twin, also known as "Digital Twin", is the mapping of the structure, state, behavior, function and performance of complex physical systems such as industrial products, manufacturing systems, and cities, to a digitized virtual world.

Through real-time sensing, connection mapping, precise analysis and immersive interaction to portray, predict and control the physical system, to realize the integration of complex systems into the virtual world, so that all elements of the system, the whole process, the whole value chain to achieve the maximum closed-loop optimization.

Specific applications of digital twins

In recent years, with the development of a new generation of information technology, such as 5G, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and mixed reality, digital twins have made rapid development at both the theoretical level and the application level. The deep integration of digital twins and industrial technology has strongly promoted the development process of digitization, networking and intelligence of related industries, and is becoming a powerful driving force for industrial transformation and upgrading.

In the field of industrial product research and development, through the construction of digital twins of industrial products and equipment, the service monitoring and health management of products and equipment can be realized. For example, when an aerial vehicle is flying in the sky, the digital twin system on the ground can pass the real-time sensing data collected from the vehicle.

Accurately simulate the operating state of the aircraft, predict the future performance of the aircraft and potential failures, etc., and even find some potential failures 15 to 30 days in advance. Digital twins have profoundly changed the shape of future products, and the products delivered to customers by future enterprises will not only be physical entities, but virtual reality **** fusion of the twin form.
