Summary

In this chapter, we started by taking a brief look at the history of Digital Twins and the original intent behind the concept. We discussed the difference between discrete and composite Digital Twins, and then we identified the elements required for something to qualify as a Digital Twin. We introduced several typical use cases across the life cycle of a Digital Twin, discussed the difference between a Digital Twin and a Digital Thread, and provided guidance on describing the value proposition of a Digital Twin. Our Digital Twin prioritization matrix provides a framework to perform a high-level assessment of the use cases for your first DTP.

You now have an understanding of what a Digital Twin is, its key characteristics, the value of a Digital Twin, and assessing where a Digital Twin may apply in your business.

The remaining chapters will guide you through building your first Digital Twin, beginning with planning your Digital Twin, identifying the right candidate for your first Digital Twin, and then providing guidance on setting up, building, deploying, and validating the outcomes of your DTP.
