What is a digital twin and how is it used in logistics?
A digital twin is the virtual representation of a physical object, process or system. In logistics, it enables detailed real-time monitoring, analysis and optimization of processes. By integrating IoT, artificial intelligence and big data, logistics processes can be digitally reproduced and simulated.
The advantages of a digital twin lie in improved decision-making, the optimization of resource usage and the ability to test future scenarios in advance. Warehousing, transport management and production logistics can be controlled more efficiently, reducing costs and identifying bottlenecks at an early stage.
