Artificial Intelligence: The Digital Twin, A Promise for Business and Consumers - ECM TechNews

Among the developments made around Artificial Intelligence, the concept of digital twin is gaining ground. Developed in the early 2000s for Industry 4.0, it offers many opportunities to enhance product performance, anticipate life cycle stages, or plan the activities of an entire production line. What is the digital twin? "Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets (physical twin), processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be used for various purposes." Behind this term lies a dynamic software model of a process, product or service. This model can be more or less sophisticated: in some cases, it is a simple representation, but the digital twin often translates into a more sophisticated 3D model.
