Make Digital Twins Be Your Enterprise's New Best Friend in an IoT World

As connected devices--anything from the computer built into a car or a fitness wearable to a smart gas meter or wind turbine--have become cheaper to manufacture, their use has grown rapidly. Some form of connected device or system is now in almost every industry and sector. This proliferation means that traditional maintenance models requiring engineers to have easy physical access to real-world devices and systems are often no longer viable. As such, the need for an alternative management model is growing, which is where "digital twin" AI technology has enormous potential for any enterprise doing business through connected devices. This report looks at the benefits companies can gain from digital twin technology, the options available on the market to take advantage of it, where digital twins are already in use, and what some industries stand to lose by ignoring this AI trend.
