Key benefits

  • Create a digital twin prototype using Microsoft Azure Digital Twin
  • Explore the digital twin approach to the design, operations, and maintenance of industrial assets and products
  • Understand key characteristics and components of a digital twin through practical use cases and business scenarios

Description

Digital twin technology enables organizations to create digital representations of physical entities such as assets, systems, and processes throughout their life cycle. It improves asset performance, utilization, and safe operations and reduces manufacturing, operational, and maintenance costs. The book begins by introducing you to the concept of digital twins and sets you on a path to develop a digital twin strategy to positively influence business outcomes in your organization. You'll understand how digital twins relate to physical assets, processes, and technology and learn about the prerequisite conditions for the right platform, scale, and use case of your digital twins. You'll then get hands-on with Microsoft's Azure Digital Twins platform for your digital twin development and deployment. The book equips you with the knowledge to evaluate enterprise and specialty platforms, including the cloud and industrial IoT required to set up your digital twin prototype. Once you've built your prototype, you'll be able to test and validate it relative to the intended purpose of the twin through pilot deployment, full deployment, and value tracking techniques. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills to build and deploy your digital twin prototype, or minimum viable twin, to demonstrate, assess, and monitor your asset at specific stages in the asset life cycle.

Who is this book for?

The digital twin book is for mid-career subject experts, including engineers and operations managers, building their first prototype (MVP) using digital twin technology. The book will help professionals responsible for mechanical, process, and reliability engineering domains. You don't have to be a developer or programmer, but beginner-level programming skills will be helpful.

What you will learn

  • Identify key criteria for the applicability of digital twins in your organization
  • Explore the RACI matrix and rapid experimentation for choosing the right tech stack for your digital twin system
  • Evaluate public cloud, industrial IoT, and enterprise platforms to set up your prototype
  • Develop a digital twin prototype and validate it using a unit test, integration test, and functional test
  • Perform an RoI analysis of your digital twin to determine its economic viability for the business
  • Discover techniques to improve your digital twin for future enhancements

Great book on Digital Twins. The value of digital twins is very high in digital transformation of industrial operations. They no doubt will keep evolving and this book gave a very good overview of what they are and how to get started with them.

This books makes the concept of Digital Twin more practical - with the prototype of Wind Turbine, an industrial asset, this book shows how this concept can be implemented, and makes it very useful to extend the Digital Twin to similar areas like renewable sources of energy or entire energy ecosystem.

Building Industrial Digital Twins provides guidelines, frameworks and instructions [that last through an example building the Digital Twin for a wind turbine] for understanding, creating and using Digital Twins to provide organizational value from both technical and economic perspectives. As with any such guidelines and frameworks, the reader will need to filter what they read on the tools provided thorough their own experience and their organization’s definitions and capabilities; for example, the section on Six Data and Model types needs to be understood in the context of the definitions for the data types, model types, and governance procedures that would be in place for the Digital Twin Prototype you will build. If there is one thing that I would ask for in a second edition, it would be a greater emphasis on metadata, and how metadata will be used to assure the Digital Twins representation of the Physical Twin is valid and current. This book brings the reader from the concepts of Digital Twins and building one’s own digital twin of a wind turbine, all the way through to standard bodies and Centers of Excellence, with a plethora of references and links for further study. The authors even introduce the reader to Digital Twins for complex systems through system of systems and twin of twins. Digital Twins will continue to evolve, and this book provides an excellent starting point for the reader to follow and be a part of that evolution.

One of the most comprehensive, yet concise guides to digital twins I’ve seen. It covers the subject extremely well - starting from the conceptual, continuing all the way to the tactical, including detailed, concrete steps for testing, prototypes, deployment, and full-scale implementation. Highly recommended.

Digital Twins are a complex and difficult technology that crosses so many vertical markets but this book does a great job in capturing not only the big picture and the details without dropping down into the weeds!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
