The city-state of Singapore has taken logistics technology to the point where it can seem like looking in a mirror. City authorities can look at a dynamic model in order to plan emergency evacuation routes or decide where to install solar panels; they can guide traffic with the help of real-time inputs; and they can even identify likely outbreaks of dengue fever by measuring the density of people who have been bitten by the disease-carrying mosquitoes. This is all owing to Virtual Singapore, the city\u2019s 3D digital twin.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technologies such as AI, 5G, and cloud have enabled the development of a smarter network that connects products, processes, services, and systems. The digital twin concept has strong potential to accelerate this transformation across multiple industries. The benefits it offers to organizations range from increased efficiency and increased lifecycle environmental impact to greater reliability and cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modelling the modern environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical product, system, or process.  The digital version can be used to monitor, control, and optimize all aspects of its physical twin \u2013 across both internal and external ecosystems and over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A digital twin is not just a simulation, a computing model, or a graphical user interface. Key characteristics of a digital twin include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
