Digital Twin
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset, process or whole operation, continuously fed with real data so it mirrors the real thing. It lets teams monitor performance, run "what-if" simulations and test changes safely before applying them in the real world.
In supply chain and logistics, a digital twin of a network or warehouse can be used to stress-test capacity, evaluate disruptions and optimise flows without touching live operations.
