This book enables readers with varying backgrounds to understand the need for Digital Twin technologies. The authors describe how digital twin amounts to the convergence of the physical and the virtual worlds where each industrial process, asset, service, or product gets a digital replica and dynamic digital blueprint and representation, from the design phase to the deployment phase. Through this book, readers will be enabled to work on Digital Twin techniques and gain from experience. The book will provide a high level of understanding of the emerging technologies and why Digital Twin offers the potential of acquiring and processing a tremendous amount of data from the physical world.
