A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, system, or process that is synchronized with real-world data to accurately reflect its counterpart’s status, behavior, and performance. This synchronization enables real-time monitoring, analysis, and simulation, facilitating improved decision-making and predictive capabilities. ​

The concept of digital twins is applied across various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and urban planning, to enhance efficiency, optimize operations, and innovate processes.
