Twinning is winning: what are Digital Twins?

Do you know what Digital Twins are?

Mr. Watts, also part of bluu, creates these virtual replicas to enhance decision making and ultimately, innovate businesses. And that’s something we obviously encourage as part of getting companies in a loop of infinite business.

But first things first: “digital twin” is actually more of a concept, not a technology. It’s all about how you use data in combination with smart technologies to make better decisions for your company, products, services, and people.

When put in practice, a Digital Twin is a virtual replica of an object, a process, an asset, etc.. Basically anything that exists in the real world, ranging from small objects lika a scanner in a supermarket to large ecosystems like a big factory.

How to create a Digital Twin?

Mr. Watts takes several steps for a Digital Twin project:

1. Collect realtime data
2. Connect data with technology
3. Replicate: building the actual Digital Twin
4. Empower: add an analysis layer through AI to gain new insights about the Digital Twin
5. Decide: make decisions based on gained insights, manually or automated.

That’s to how part.

What about the why? Why should you use such digital replicas in your company? And to what goal?

• Make accurate decisions based on real-time data and simulations
• Valuable insights: discover what processes cause trouble, what behavior doesn’t run smoothly or how to manage and organize your supply chain.
• Data-driven and proactive decision-making by running different scenarios and showing possible flaws or obstacles.
