When you hear “digital twin,” think of this as a digital replica of physical assets such as pumps and compressors, processes, people, places, systems and devices. Through these replicas, the operation of these things are modeled and simulated through their lifecycles. For these simulations to be effective, they must represent reality. To this end, feedback […]
The costs and difficulties associated with wiring and terminations have historically limited the sensors used in manufacturing and production processes to only the most essential measurements. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based wireless devices have fundamentally changed this reality. However, more data from these sensors does not automatically translate into better business performance. It takes analysis […]
