Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-world assets, processes, or systems. In mining, they model entire operations including machinery, extraction processes, and infrastructure using real-time sensor data. This enables continuous simulation, monitoring, and optimization, helping companies enhance decision-making, predict equipment performance, optimize resources, and reduce operational risks.
Unlike static models, digital twins are dynamic, continuously updating to mirror real-world changes. This allows operators to simulate scenarios, test adjustments, and optimize operations for efficiency and sustainability, with applications in ore transport, processing, mine planning, safety, AI-driven automation, and augmented reality visualization(Systems, 2023).
Digital Twins are more than just virtual models they are a crystal ball for physical assets! What is a Digital Twin, and how is this technology transforming how industries predict failures and optimize performance? Share your insights!
