Key benefits

Create a digital twin prototype using Microsoft Azure Digital Twin

Explore the digital twin approach to the design, operations, and maintenance of industrial assets and products

Understand key characteristics and components of a digital twin through practical use cases and business scenarios

Description

Digital twin technology enables organizations to create digital representations of physical entities such as assets, systems, and processes throughout their life cycle. It improves asset performance, utilization, and safe operations and reduces manufacturing, operational, and maintenance costs. The book begins by introducing you to the concept of digital twins and sets you on a path to develop a digital twin strategy to positively influence business outcomes in your organization. You'll understand how digital twins relate to physical assets, processes, and technology and learn about the prerequisite conditions for the right platform, scale, and use case of your digital twins. You'll then get hands-on with Microsoft's Azure Digital Twins platform for your digital twin development and deployment. The book equips you with the knowledge to evaluate enterprise and specialty platforms, including the cloud and industrial IoT required to set up your digital twin prototype. Once you've built your prototype, you'll be able to test and validate it relative to the intended purpose of the twin through pilot deployment, full deployment, and value tracking techniques. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills to build and deploy your digital twin prototype, or minimum viable twin, to demonstrate, assess, and monitor your asset at specific stages in the asset life cycle.

Who is this book for?

The digital twin book is for mid-career subject experts, including engineers and operations managers, building their first prototype (MVP) using digital twin technology. The book will help professionals responsible for mechanical, process, and reliability engineering domains. You don't have to be a developer or programmer, but beginner-level programming skills will be helpful.

From digital twin prototypes, to models, to instances, and threads, Shyam and Pieter leave no stone unturned. In the same way that digital twins remove complexity and improve understanding of assets and systems, the authors make this technology approachable to readers. Highly recommended!

Great book on Digital Twins. The value of digital twins is very high in digital transformation of industrial operations. They no doubt will keep evolving and this book gave a very good overview of what they are and how to get started with them.

This books makes the concept of Digital Twin more practical - with the prototype of Wind Turbine, an industrial asset, this book shows how this concept can be implemented, and makes it very useful to extend the Digital Twin to similar areas like renewable sources of energy or entire energy ecosystem.

Just finished Building Industrial Digital Twins Book. It is designed to teach and use as a resource for Microsoft Azure Digital Twins technology. It helps you to develop a digital twin strategy and by the end of the book you will have designed a strategy to help move your business in a positive direction and set up a working prototype. It also provides the tools to evaluate your own Azure DigitalTwin Towers.I love the way the book is layed out in an easy to follow format and allows you to create your own prototype for your business needs. It is definately a go to book when building or evaluating any Azure Digital Twin Towers.
