"g-f" fishing of golden knowledge (GK) of the fabulous treasure of the digital age, The Digital Twin Opportunity (9/13/2021)  g-f(2)426 

Opportunity, Digital twins are strategic tools to drive smart digital transformation, MIT SMR g-f(2)433
  • Fundamentally, a  digital twin (DT) is a dynamic model of a physical system that enables fast and creative experimentation at very low cost and risk.
  • Now, thanks to a confluence of technological advances, DTs are at an intriguing inflection point — transitioning from that specialized, tactical domain to becoming strategic tools with diverse applications. 
        Opportunity, How Digital Twins Are Advancing, MIT SMR 
        • What makes a DT special is that it is dynamic — it must always mirror the exact state of the physical system. This requires two key parts to work in tandem: a model describing the behavior of its physical twin, and sensors that provide the real-time “coupling” to the model. 
        • What has changed is that multiple technologies have come of age and can now be combined in unique ways. 
          • The internet of things (IoT) has matured, so we have ever-cheaper sensors to measure many new physical parameters accurately. 5G communications networks allow wide-bandwidth data transmission at almost real-time speeds. 
          • Advances in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) allow us to see a realistic 3D visualization, whether of a bridge, a building, or a human organ. 
          • Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques help us model how a system functions and sometimes even predict how it might work in future scenarios. 
          • Coupling to real-time IoT data anchors these models in reality and transforms the DT into a powerful tool. 
          • Now we can do far more than just observe — we can diagnose, control, and sometimes even provide a prognosis for diverse physical systems. 
                  Opportunity, Where DTs Can Help Target Strategic Priorities, MIT SMR 
                  • Based on our experience with Siemens, Komatsu, Kajima, Enel Foundation, Lam Research, SEMI, and the National Research Foundation of Singapore, we see three high-level priorities common among business leaders where there is strong potential for harnessing DTs: sustainability, smart innovation, and health and safety.   
                  Opportunity, DTs may be able to help us address grand challenges successfully, MIT SMR 
                  • What if we could stop the next pandemic in its tracks? What if we could cut global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by a third? What if pediatricians could better treat ill or injured children in remote rural clinics? DTs may be able to help us address such grand challenges successfully.
