Digital Twin
A digital twin is a real-time virtual representation of a physical asset, system or process. It continuously updates based on live data from its physical counterpart, reflecting current status, usage and performance.
Why it matters
In the supply chain, digital twins make it possible to monitor assets in detail, simulate scenarios and predict potential issues before they occur. This supports smarter planning, better utilization of resources and timely maintenance. By creating a digital layer over physical operations, businesses gain the ability to test strategies, anticipate disruptions and improve overall efficiency, all without interrupting daily activities.
