Strategies, & Thoughts on PLM

What’s the Difference Between a Simulation and a Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a CAD model that has the latest sensor data associated with a matching physical device. A digital twin is often used in process control and product lifecycle management (PLM) to help monitor or control a remote system. The model doesn’t necessarily need to exactly replicate the physical device. It may even be a 2D representation, but it’s typically combined with other models to provide a context for the information that can be presented or examined…
