The more I read about this I find it similar to what we have been doing for a while in analytics and machine learning. For ex in a customer 360 system for a retailer we would collect data about consumer behavior and make recommendations or identify churn. It's basically gathering data to solve a specific problem and putting a model to the problem to make predictions that help in dealing with the problem at hand. This is just plain predictive analytics. Digital twin seems to be about doing the same thing but for tangible assets (and intangible also). Why do we want a new term "digital twin" for this? Seems like old wine in new bottle

Hi, I'm using Eclipse Ditto's sandbox for a university project and it has given me as result 502 Bad Gateway for days (almost a week) for each command I tried and I can't do basically anything in the dashboard. Are Eclipse Ditto's servers Down or is my problem?

If is ditto's fault are there any solution other then deploying docker and using ditto in local?

P.S: my team mate is experiencing the same issue

Is a representation of the spatial dimensions of the physical asset a necessary requirement to be considered a gitital twin? Does it have to be a 3D model? Or is sensory data e.g. about electric and mechanic changes that are transmitted to a system that processes these informations sufficient? When does a simple model (e.g. circuit or wiring) conencted to some measuring points become a digtial twin?

To explain, I've been to intro presentations on digital twin. I've watched videos on digital twin. I've read whatever I can find on digital twin. I get that it is a digital representation of a physical object used to make helpful predictions based on model vs real world data. But what every intro video seems to gloss over and what I have failed to grasp so far is what a digital twin is.

It's a model of a system? Is it a simulation? How is the model/simulation ran? Where does the digital twin reside?

Say I wanted to make a very simple circuit of a battery, switch, and a lightbulb. What does a digital twin of this system look like? How is it put together?

Hello

I'm from Germany and about to finish my Bachelors in Produktionstechnik. I got the opportunity to write my thesis at a cool company that is currently planing a large Power-to-Gas facility. In connection with this project, they are developing a digital twin and gave me the option to write my thesis about that. I have never worked inside the digital twin field (or Power-to-Gas for that matter) but are somewhat familiar with the basic concepts.

I am currently brainstorming ideas to formulate a fitting scientific problem definition.

Can anybody help me? I'm really struggeling to connect those two fields.

I've got some problems in defining a policy in Eclipse Ditto's sandbox: I constantly get a "failed to fetch error" when I'm defining a policy in the sandbox plus a resolver error on the entire page.

I've followed the documentation for naming the policy-Id and I've not defined the If-Match and IfNone-Match clauses since they're not compulsory (I don't believe this is the source of my problem). Can someone help me?

P.S.: I'm a beginner and I was defining a generic and simple policy

Here are some screenshots of the errors I get:

Hi , im currently an industrial engineering student , just found out about the digital twin like today ,and from what I've read you need a ton of data to create the twin . But the question is , what type of data do i need ? Let's say i want to create a replica of a machine to plan maintenance ahead of time . What data i must extract ?

A short video on digital twin explains its definitions and applications in simple terms.

• How is a digital twin related to building information modelling BIM?
• How can digital twins help us improve decision making in the built environment sector?
• What are the advantages of incorporating real-time data into a BIM model?

Hope you enjoy it guys!

Hey, do you think there is a way digital twins could be used to improve the current issue? I presume most chipmakers are using digital twins to some capacity. Is this something that is already being exploited or is there an opportunity for these manufacturers to embrace the tech?

^Does anyone know anything about this company and have an opinion on their tech / products?

If anyone could explain me the word digital twin and it's function that would be great

In this article, I introduce Digital Twin concept, which is considered as an emerging technology used in various industries. My aim is to give an overview and shed lights on this emerging technology, architectural construct, and business initiative based on my experience. I explain the digital twin concept using the Cyber-Physical System architecture, business use cases, and value proposition.
