The IoT-Digital Twin Partnership

IoT serves as a crucial touchpoint for the digital twin system by connecting physical and digital worlds. IoT is often considered as the nervous system of an operation—sensors and devices gather real-time data such as temperature, pressure, and equipment health. This data is then transmitted to create and maintain a digital replica of physical assets. Digital Twins uses this data to enable predictive maintenance, real-time optimization, and scenario analysis, turning raw information into actionable insights.
