One of such new technologies that are changing the world is the digital twin. In the recent past, the term "digital twin" has gained a lot of momentum and understandably so. With its utility in different fields of product optimization, its ability to monitor the state of equipment at remote sites, etc. it possesses the power of changing the future.

So, what is a digital twin??Digital Twin is a digital model of a physical object, system or process that continuously collects information (using sensors, drones, or other IoT and IIoT data collection tools) and applies advanced analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) to gain real-time insight into the performance or profitability of the problem in hand.

The digital twin takes a centre in the Industrial Revolution that the world is witnessing currently. With the fourth industrial revolution companies are venturing into new technologies that can help them accelerate their development and, the digital twin is opening new doors for new possibilities. Its ability to provide meaningful insights, optimize production, decrease maintenance costs and improve asset utilization is helping a lot of businesses in different sectors such as healthcare, automobile, manufacturing, retail, etc to solve different problems that these industries are facing.

The big question is will the companies see the potential that new-age technologies hold and the difference that these technologies can bring in their development? The world is in a phase of digital reinvention. In the last decade, most companies have understood the true power of digital transformation. The future of digital twins is limitless, and the advancements, in this field will open doors for new possibilities for a lot of companies.
