Abstract
A digital twin refers to a virtual copy of an entity, which can be a system, process, or product. It is updated using current data and helps bridge the gap between the real and digital worlds. By creating an identical replica of an object, such as a locomotive, chair, or skyscraper, sensors are attached to collect real-time data which is then translated into a virtual representation. The digital twin is created, examined, and built in a virtual environment. This technology has been advanced by the development of the internet of things (IoT), which allows for constant connectivity and real-time data transmission. The digital twin is used to anticipate the future as well as comprehend the present. This chapter discusses and explains several digital twin applications as well as the value of digital twins.
