What is a Digital Twin?

Digital Twin Consortium establishes a flexible definition that works across applications and industries.

The term “digital twin” is used widely, and in many divergent ways, as this transformational technology continues to be embraced, and its capabilities better understood. 

Leading digital twin trade organization Digital Twin Consortium has developed this definition to set the standard and utilize it to develop future documentation around the various components of digital twin systems. Digital Twin Consortium members Sean Olcott from Gafcon and Casey Mullen from Bentley Systems break down the details.
