Data as a key enabler for AI-powered technologies in manufacturing With data being such a key enabler of AI in manufacturing , it comes as no surprise that digital twins can support manufacturers as they look to adopt AI technology .
Digital twins , a virtual representation that serves as the real-time digital counterpart of a physical object or process , originated from NASA who used it as a practical definition to improve physical model simulation of spacecraft in 2010 . The US government agency used basic twinning ideas for space programming by creating physically duplicated systems at ground level to match the systems in space .
Now , digital twins can support manufacturers as they can provide more information to the data scientists and IT teams in manufacturing organisations .
These experts can use the digital twins for trial and error . By applying AI to the simulation data that is generated from these virtual replicas manufacturers can
