My guest? @RobTiffany. The topic? The value of digital twins to model machines, processes and businesses. Mistakes are mine. Not Rob’s. P.S. The goal of #AIChat? To help you cut through the artificial intelligence noise.

Twitter Universe.
Welcome @RobTiffany!
It’s a 30 minute #AIChat.
Let’s hit the ground running.
Here’s Q1) Can you define what’s a digital twin? #AIChat

A1: In it’s simplest form, a digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object. This could be a machine, a person, or even a process. #aichat

A1.1: For some history, digital twins were originally created by NASA to have high-fidelity models of spacecraft for design and troubleshooting. #aichat

A1 follow-up. Is there such a thing as a wrong #digital #twin #AIChat?

A1.2 A digital twin can be wrong and therefore deliver bad results if it’s properties or attributes don’t match the physical object precisely. #aichat

Q 1.3 Can a digital twin be more observable than the object it represents and does that make it less than a twin? #aichat

A1.3: Digital twins tell the story of the machine #aichat

A1.4: Since a #DigitalTwin can carry more measured and calculated data than the physical object, I think it makes it a super twin. In a well-functioning system, the twins will drive all your operations. #aichat

It does, but it makes it seem that the digital twin is the system controller. #aichat

Here’s Q2 for @RobTiffany (it’ll help you with his definition of #digital twin in Q1)
How does a digital twin link to model machines, processes and business? #AIChat

A2: For starters, I believe that #digitaltwins should be at the heart of any #IoT system since you can’t understand the telemetry #data being collected without modeling the schema or shape of the object producing the data to provide context. #aichat

A2.1: When physical machines and people are connected to an #IoT system via a #digital thread of near real-time data, the digital twin is brought to life. You can see the latest state of the physical object as well as its history by viewing the digital twins. #aichat

A2.2: Beyond being a mirror of physical objects, digital twins can also carry rules, KPIs and #Analytics with them that are triggered when new #data arrives. #aichat

A2.3: The #DigitalTwin can map measure values to sensors from a physical object but it can also contain virtual or calculated values that are derived dynamically. #aichat

A digital twin does a great job of properly organizing the data relevant to a physical object which makes it easier for advanced analytics, #MachineLearning, and #DeepLearning to do their thing. #aichat

A2.4: The more #data your #DigitalTwins accumulate, the better the results will be from #AI. #aichat

A2.5: Classes of machines that are the same as each other can be improved when the #digitaltwin of one machine solves a problem that can be shared across a fleet. #aichat
