From health care to manufacturing, the technology will help rehearse for the future and improve lives. Experts, however, raise concerns about privacy and security as it involves collecting huge chunks of data
Digital twin is a virtual copy of physical products, processes or systems. The virtual model is designed in such a way that it accurately reflects the physical object—both of them are interconnected via exchange of data in real time.
