Abstract
A digital twin consists of a digital representation of a real-world object or infrastructure. Allied to real-time data, a digital twin can be used for remote monitoring and to simulate or predict a set of actions. This concept is characterised by three components: a physical entity, a virtual entity and the data that connects these two parts. This technology allows the visualisation and extraction of information in real time about an entity, eliminating the need for physical contact, and can be applied to an organisation, supporting its management and monitoring.
