Digital twins, engineering future automation

摘要

Rapid growth of data collection make rapid expansion of digital twins more likely to add automation, supply chain efficiencies and optimization. Many enterprises today are talking about the concept of "digital twins." Among them, the enterprises engaged in digital solutions such as product lifecycle management (PLM) tend to be the leaders and extend it into automation. Some people even say digital twins are an indispensable form of technology for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. In addition to the value everyone delights in talking about, what is the extended value of digital twins? Digital twins can enable the mass data flow brought by the IIoT in the future to remain efficient, orderly and secure in the process of integration, exchange and transfer. Admittedly, in the IIoT era, with the further popularization of low-energy consumption micro-sensor, 5G and other applications, people will be able to collect many kinds of physical data in real time. Economic efficiency and simulation of building the digital world also will be improved.
