DIGITAL TWINS GIVE YOU A HEAD START IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

A digital twin, or digital twin, is a virtual representation of an object from the real world. The use of digital twins in the industrial sector improves communication and collaboration between multiple users and plays an important role in manufacturing. However, the virtual double is not only available for individual products, but also for complete industrial plants and their processes. By linking data, the Digital Twin makes it possible to simplify after-sales processes. It thus contributes to the process optimisation of digital business models for products or services offered.

Large production machines and systems in particular often consist of a long history of components, partial repairs and individual productions. The data acquisition of the digital twin starts at least in production – often earlier in development. All data sources must be brought together and cross-linked to correctly illustrate the digital image of the physical product. Accordingly, a digital twin not only provides a pronounced amount of information about the individual product, but at the same time opens the door to a digital ecosystem of connections.

By integrating a digital twin in the dplain Cloud, you create a completely new approach to your products and machines. Every little detail becomes digitally visible to the user and can be scrutinised. With just a few clicks, your machine can be disassembled – assembly by assembly down to the individual parts. A virtual image, based on 3D drawings, provides the customer or your technician with all machine information, including stored documents and instructions.

The digital twin not only helps the user to find spare parts more easily and thus make an informed decision when ordering – in addition, the 3D representation of a real object can be used interactively for simulations of various systems and analyses through the sensor connection. Through exploration, trends and patterns can be better identified that indicate potential problems or improvements. Based on this, important decisions can be made to optimise the object or system. Therefore, the Digital Twin will play an increasingly important role in industry in the future.
