Digital twins also create the ability to be proactive to events while optimizing quality and productivity, and delivering new business models.<\/p>\n<h3>Five attributes of a digital twin<\/h3>\n<p>What is a digital twin? Beyond a virtual representation of a physical object that evolves with the lifecycle of physical objects, McCutcheon said, a digital twin also is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A precise virtual representation of a physical product or process.<\/li>\n<li>Used across its lifecycle to simulate, predict and optimize product and production systems.<\/li>\n<li>Made of multiple representation of models for different aspects of physical behavior.<\/li>\n<li>An evolving object with a lifecycle that needs to be managed from concept, development, verification, manufacturing, sales and support.<\/li>\n<li>Closed-loop digital twin provides for bi-directional connectivity between the physical asset and the virtual representation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Five manufacturing digitalization application notes<\/h3>\n<p>Integration of software tools such as PLM and cloud-based design and support collaborative applications can eliminate inefficiencies and accelerate innovation in product lifecycles, including digitalization, digital twins, automation design, plant design and services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
