Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has unveiled the ‘Sangam: Digital Twin’ initiative.
Key points
- ‘Sangam: Digital Twin’ symbolizes a collaborative leap towards reshaping infrastructure planning and design, combining the prowess of 5G, IoT, AI, AR/VR, AI native 6G Sangam.
- Digital Twin is a PoC distributed in two stages to be conducted in one of the major cities of India.
- Sangam brings all stakeholders on one platform aiming to transform innovative ideas into tangible solutions.
Digital Twin Technology
- Digital Twin technology offers a solution by creating virtual replicas of physical assets, allowing for real-time monitoring, simulation and analysis for experimental iterations and feedback loop to adapt to the changes for achieving the best outcomes.
- This technology enables companies to test and validate a product before it even exists in the real world.
- Since the twin system’s IoT sensors generate big data in real time, businesses can proactively analyze their data to identify problems within the system.
- A twin can be accessed anywhere, enabling users to monitor and control the system performance remotely.
- The difference between digital twin and simulation is largely a matter of scale: While a simulation typically studies one particular process, a digital twin can itself run any number of useful simulations in order to study multiple processes.
- Simulations usually don’t benefit from having real-time data. But digital twins are designed around a two-way flow of information.
- Digital twins can even help manufacturers decide what to do with products that reach the end of their product lifecycle
