This asset can include processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be used for a variety of reasons. When defining a Digital Twin, the first important point to note is the connection established between a physical model and its virtual counterpart. Secondly, with the progression of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, real time data can be collected about the state of the physical model and then fed to a digital model allowing it to adapt its own state and become an accurate representation of the other, given the proper functionality.</p> | + | <br><p><b>A Digital Twin</b> can be defined as a digital representation of a physical asset.
