What is a digital twin?
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical site, asset, system, or process, capable of mimicking its real-world counterpart’s condition and behavior. Enriched with data, it informs decision-making by helping understand the past, observe the present, and predict the future.
Real-time connectivity, real-world results
Empower your organization with a connected solution to reveal and access real-time data by leveraging your existing enterprise ecosystem. See assets come to life when combined with right-time IoT data and take advantage of real-time updates of operating status and enterprise data within the 3D context of your site or facility.
Primary uses of Unity’s digital twin solutions
Check out some of the many ways Unity’s digital twins solutions are used.
Operate and monitor
Be prepared and equipped to make data-informed decisions. Monitor and manage operations of an existing facility, site, or system.
Plan and optimize
Identify potential issues, make improvements, and anticipate future operations based on visualized designs, simulations, real-time data collection, and IoT predictive maintenance.
