How efficient could you be if you had a crystal ball that showed you the future? We may be on track to find out.
Advancements in technology – namely IoT sensors, bandwidth speed, software, AI, and chip processing – are enabling people to create “digital twins” that could be game-changers in human decision making. The practice is already taking off in areas such as manufacturing, logistics, aviation, and city planning, and many more soon to get on-board.
In the professional world, digital twins help people and companies save time and save money by showing what potential (or likely) outcomes will result from different scenarios.
Simply put, a digital twin is a digital, or virtual, model of a physical thing that exists in the real world, like an airplane or an automotive factory. But rather than just being a pretty and detailed 3D rendering of its physical counterpart, a digital twin can carry out simulations of workflows or events, giving the user a preview of how those scenarios would impact the real-world twin if they happened in physical reality.
