Digital Twins as Virtual Representations

A digital twin serves as the real-time digital counterpart of a physical object or asset. It is a virtual representation that allows users to identify and mark up various elements in the model, such as potential clashes or inconsistencies. The real-time aspect differentiates a digital twin from a traditional static representation. While digital twins are commonly associated with construction, they can also be applied in other industries like agriculture and forestry, providing valuable insights and facilitating efficient asset management.
