Chapter 10 - Impact of internet of things and digital twin on manufacturing era

Abstract

Every piece of information gathered must be shared and used effectively without compromising security. The digital twin and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two sides of the same technological coin. Both aspects have a similar sounding name, however, they are not the same. The backbone of IoT is referred to as a digital twin. Before real data can perform, it must be simulated and processed, which is what the digital twin and IoT combine to provide. In almost every other company, these qualities have been instilled in numerous fields. The main difference between digital twin and the IoT is that the digital twin is a real-time virtual representation of any plan or object using technologies such as reasoning, simulation, complex decision-making, and machine learning, whereas IoT is a network connected to physical devices that run, process, and act on data. Clearly, the proliferation of IoT devices contributes to the possibility of digital twins. Furthermore, as IoT devices improve, digital twin might be incorporated in smaller and less sophisticated products, providing significant benefits to businesses.
