Internet of Things (IoT)
Information from the real world is integrated into the digital platform via the Internet of Things (IoT). Objects and processes are networked using sensor technology, which enables a continuous exchange of data. This linking turns the digital twin into a dynamic representation of the real processes in real time, which is constantly updated with new information.
This seamless, two-way interaction in real time makes the digital twin a powerful platform for the simulation, prediction, optimization and control of physical objects, technologies and processes.
