It's a world where people don't think it stupid to mummify kings. It's a world where a child bawls with pain when someone kicks his pup. It's a world where we all would run to first save a seeminglysilly object (like a Teddy or a favourite book or a picture-frame or a pair of sneakers) before a wallet or a property-papers when a fire-alarm goes off. It's a world where men still talk to, and pet, their cars. And now, it's also a world where the essence of machines and processes can be replicated in digital twins.
Not exactly for the same reason. But by the same logic. One's life is hinged closely to the other.
Enter the world of digital clones. Shall we take you a bit closer?
NOT WITCHCRAFT BUT WIZARDRY
In an era where creating products or controlling processes is, often, laden with costs, complexity and chaos - it is a much-needed marvel to have a virtual counterpart handy - one that works well. With this digital replica - a company can design as well as monitor, repair, correct and improve the product or process without tweaking anything physically. That saves money. And also spares everyone the irreversibility of mistakes.
What a doozy! Digital twins provide that extraordinary comfort. They can simulate many characteristics of their physical counterparts. And since these models process, and react to, various stimuli (as per the data representing the external environment) - making any change is both safe and timely. With the approximation of a real object that they bring in- they go way beyond erstwhile simulation techniques and whiteboards. Companies not only have a chance to exponentially improve productivity and Time-to-Market windows but also the powerful button to completely augment operational processes and avoid losses.
