DIGITAL TWIN

A Digital Twin is a virtual instance of a physical system (twin) that is continually updated with the latter's performance, maintenance, and health status data throughout the physical system's life cycle.

WHY

KDT?

  • Reduce costs for businesses by enabling predictive maintenance.

  • Identifying potential issues before they escalate into expensive problems.

  • Optimizing resource allocation based on real-time data, minimizing waste and inefficiencies.

  • Facilitate virtual testing and simulation, reducing the need for physical prototypes.

  • Accelerating product development and time-to-market.

KEY FEATURES OF

KDT

DOC MANAGEMENT

DOC MANAGEMENT

All documents (drawings, instructions, etc.) related to the equipment throughout its lifecycle.

3D REPRESENTATION

3D REPRESENTATION

Properties of a physical device (measured or calculated) converted to a 3D digital representation.

MODEL SYNC

MODEL SYNC

Alignment of a model with real world parameters (location and time).

MODEL

MODEL

Digital representation of the equipment that contains all the properties and behaviors of a physical device.

SIMULATION

SIMULATION

Representation of a physical device in a simulation environment to study its behavior.

VISUALIZATION

VISUALIZATION

Graphical representation of the object either on computer screen or personal Device.

DT MANUFACTURING

PROCESS MODEL

SENSORS

SENSORS

Sensors distributed throughout the manufacturing process create signals that enable the twin to capture operational and environmental data pertaining to the physical process in the real world.

DATA

DATA

Real-world operational and environmental data from the sensors are aggregated and combined with data from the enterprise, such as the bill of materials (BoM), enterprise systems, and design specifications.

ACTUATORS

ACTUATORS

Should an action be warranted in the real world, the digital twin produces the action by way of actuators, subject to human intervention, which trigger the physical process.

ANALYTICS

ANALYTICS

Analytics techniques are used to analyse the data through algorithmic simulations and visualization routines that are used by the digital twin to produce insights.
