2. Content
 Definition
 History
 Importance of Digital Twin (Gartner’s Research)
 Technologies behind the Twin
 Applications of Twin
 Pros and Cons
 Conclusion

3. What is Digital Twin
 Digital twins are virtual representation of
physical objects
 Dynamically changed devices or environments
are monitored and predicate the problems
 Digital twin  current state of the environment
 Predictive twin  future state of environment

4. Digital Twin in Construction

5. History
 Digital Twin is introduced by Dr. Michael
Grieves in the University of Michigan in
between 2001-2002
 Terms to describe Digital Twin given by Dr.
Michael are,
 DTI
 DTP
 DTA

6.  DTI
 Digital Twin Asset gives information about the steps
followed and steps undergo in the production of an
asset
 Also contains the current status of the asset
 DTP
 Digital Twin Prototype describes manufacture of a
production
 Gives a procedure of the creation of the assets
 DTA
 Collection of the DTIs

7. Gartner’s Research
 The Research “Top 10 Strategic Trends for
2017” published in October 2016 is shows that
Digital Twin was a Number 5th strategic trend
for 2017 in this report
 Gartner predicts that by 2021, 50-percent of
large industrial companies will use digital
twins, resulting in those organization gaining a
10-percent improvement in effectiveness

8. Technologies behind the Twin
 IoT
 Cloud Computing
 Big Data Analytics
 Block Chain
 VR and AR

9. Applications of Twin
 Customer Experience (Improve customer’s
experience )
 Performance Tuning (Tuning aircraft devices from
earth as a 3D real time visualization)
 Digital Machine Learning (Digital copy of the
machine used for simulation and testing)

10. Applications of Twin
 Healthcare (A surgeon can use a digital twin for a
digital visualization of the heart, before operating
it.)
 Smart cities (Virtual smart cities. Eg: Virtual
Singapore)
 Maintenance (Engine of the car or machine can be
monitored in 3d format to provide required
maintenance)

11. Pros and Cons
 Pros
 Possible to manufacture extreme high quality
products
 Cloning, Improve the devices' quality
 Cons
 High cost
 Complex Infrastructure

12. Conclusion
 In future, The Entire world is going to become
a digital world. In this digital era, Everything
is going to become a digital one, such as
digital marketing, digital currency, digital
education, digital life and etc.
 Digital twin is an unavoidable and prominent
technology, that plays an important role in the
digital world.
