Represent your products with digital twins

Digital twins, a representation of your products

The advance of technology has opened a door to a world full of possibilities. Buying new products, advertising them, communicating with customers and suppliers remotely or automating tasks are just some of the opportunities with which the internet and digital tools help us in our daily lives. And, once again, it has managed to surpass itself.

Foreseeing what your product would be like has crossed the barriers of imagination. From your mind to the real world. With a stop at the virtual station. Now, there is a tool with which you can create a simulation of an object or a scenario in the digital world. We are talking about digital twins.

They use real-time data collected by sensors or IoT devices so that, through technologies such as Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning, they can develop them.

They can be of great use in sectors such as:

1. Construction, to plan projects and to be able to represent the structures according to the needs of your clientele.

2. Manufacturing, to experiment with the design and life cycle of a product.

3. Energy, to optimise performance and detect areas for improvement in installations.

4. Healthcare, to perform simulations to help detect the best treatment for patients.

These are just some of the examples where digital twins can help you. But, in general, how can they help you if you are an SME or a freelancer?

We'll tell you about it below, don't miss out!

The advantages of digital twins

As you have already seen, digital twins can be used to virtually represent a physical product. And now we are going to show you how it can help you, so pay attention!

Digital twins are the virtual representation of a physical object or space in a digital environment.

1. You will get detailed information to better understand how a product works and how you can improve it to optimise its performance.

2. You will know the outcome of your project, allowing you to make informed decisions in the direction that best suits your resources and needs.

3. You will reduce costs by optimising your capacities and detecting, before launching a product, its errors.

4. You will improve your productivity by knowing the applications and characteristics of your product before experimenting with it physically.

5. You will boost collaboration with your team by allowing everyone to contribute their work from an electronic device, regardless of where each member is located.

6. You will promote sustainability by reducing the environmental impact that the creation of physical prototypes can have.

Doesn't that sound good? If this information has been useful to you and you want to take the step towards digital twins, we show you how to do it.

How digital twins work

Now that you've got acquainted with the world of digital twins, it's time to learn how they work, step by step!

• Step 1. Smart sensors will collect data from your physical object through, for example, IoT devices or control systems.

• Step 2. Once the data about the object has been collected, the object is created virtually, where the structure and components of the product will be displayed.

• Step 3. Reconnect your virtual representation with the physical object through sensors. This will allow you to detect updates and new information about the real product in real time.

• Step 4. Use the digital twin to simulate the use of the product and perform all the tests you need.

• Step 5. Share the areas of improvement you have identified to make your product perform at its best.

• Step 6. Make sure you store the information in a secure system to protect confidential information about your business or your customers.

With digital twins, you can find a new way to meet your customers' needs. Even before you offer them your product physically. For everything to be ready.
