Digital twins, also known as "digital twins", map the structure, state, behavior, function and performance of complex physical systems such as industrial products, manufacturing systems and cities into a digital virtual world.

Real-time perception, connection mapping, accurate analysis and immersive interaction are used to describe, predict and control the physical system, so as to realize the virtual and real integration of complex systems and maximize the closed-loop optimization of all elements, processes and value chains of the system.

The concrete application of digital twinning

In recent years, with the development of next-generation information technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and mixed reality, digital twinning has achieved rapid development in both theory and application. The deep integration of digital twins and industrial technology has strongly promoted the development process of digitalization, networking and intelligence of related industries, and is becoming a powerful driving force for industrial transformation and upgrading.

In the field of industrial product research and development, by constructing digital twins of industrial products and equipment, service monitoring and health management of products and equipment can be realized. For example, when an airplane flies in the sky, the digital twin system on the ground can sense the data in real time through the collected airplane.

Accurately simulate the aircraft running state, predict the future performance and potential faults of the aircraft, and even find some potential faults 15~30 days in advance. Digital pairing has profoundly changed the form of future products. In the future, the products delivered by enterprises to customers will not only be physical entities, but the twin form of virtual and real integration.
