A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...the goal of a digital twin was clear. From a stolen digital representation, Princess Leia and her rebel commanders could pinpoint the Imperial Death Star’s fatal flaw – and send in their X-Wing Fighters and Jedi to destroy it.
Back in the real world, digital twins are less about destroying intergalactic space stations, and more about optimizing the life and operations of hugely complex and expensive assets across the industrial sectors. Less cinematic certainly, but infinitely more attractive.
