“ A DIGITAL TWIN IS A PRECISE DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD THAT USES DYNAMIC DATA TO SIMULATE , ANALYSE , MONITOR , AND OPTIMISE PERFORMANCE ”
EVA CARRANZA HEAD OF ESG AND SUSTAINABILITY , HEXAGON
“ A key requirement is that digital twins can freely exchange data between the physical and virtual worlds .”
“ This means that a change in the physical world is reflected in the digital world and often a change in the digital world can be pushed back to the physical world e . g . through electrical actuators .”
“ Because the physical world is complex with different ownership models , digital twins can be linked . The UK ’ s ‘ National Digital Twin ’ was not intended as a single platform therefore but a ( nascent ) network of twins . NTT DATA ’ s Digital Twin Computing vision supports such a vision , allowing digital twins to inter-operate and therefore create an autonomous society .”
