What is digital twin in SAP IOT-PEI - Predictive Engineering Insights?

SAP Term: digital twin

• Component: IOT-PEI

• Component Name: Predictive Engineering Insights

• Description: A digital representation of a physical object. A digital twin is created in simulation software using detailed engineering models, calculations based on Newtonian mechanics, and the physical properties of the materials used in the physical asset. The twin has the same dimensions, material properties, and constraints as the physical object.

• Key Concepts: 
  Digital twin is a concept used to describe a digital representation of a physical object or system. It is used to simulate the behavior of the physical object or system in order to gain insights into its performance and predict its future behavior. In the context of SAP’s Predictive Engineering Insights (PEI) component of the Internet of Things (IoT) suite, digital twin technology is used to create a virtual model of an industrial asset that can be used to monitor and analyze its performance in real-time.
  
  How to use it: 
  The digital twin technology in SAP’s PEI component can be used to create a virtual model of an industrial asset. This model can then be used to monitor and analyze the asset’s performance in real-time. The data collected from the asset can be used to identify potential issues and predict future performance. This data can also be used to optimize the asset’s performance and reduce downtime.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using digital twin technology, it is important to ensure that the data collected from the asset is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the model created is accurate and reflects the current state of the asset.
