IBM DESCRIPTION
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object or system across its lifecycle, using real-time data to enable understanding, learning and reasoning
Origins of Digital Twin
Digital twins were anticipated by David Gelernter‘s 1991 book Mirror Worlds. It is widely acknowledged in both industry and academic publications that Michael Grieves of Florida Institute of Technology first applied the digital twin concept in manufacturing. The concept and model of the digital twin was publicly introduced in 2002 by Grieves, then of the University of Michigan, at a Society of Manufacturing Engineers conference in Troy, Michigan. Grieves proposed the digital twin as the conceptual model underlying product lifecycle management (PLM). (Current Information Wikipedia)
One of the most interesting and some would say most important technology is that evolving around Digital Twin. The virtual representation of a physical product or process used to understand the counterpart’s performance characteristics. The ability to work with diligence before an investment in prototype or production models gives incredible advantages in design, manufacture and performance.
The key technology around Digital Twin is simulation, enabling customers to have understanding of their products from design to development and throughout the entire product life cycle.
