Categories and use cases​​ 

  • The challenge​​ 

    Creating accurate and responsive virtual models of physical objects and devices​​ 

Determining what modifications will optimize physical products and systems can be time consuming and costly. Current virtual modeling processes may lack near real-time data inputs needed for generating accurate, ongoing and responsive projections.​​ 

Efforts to create more sophisticated models, like digital twins, of real products and systems may need near real-time data and could require costly infrastructure, networks and IoT sensors.​​  

  • Transform predictive maintenance.​​ 

    Digital twins could transform how businesses optimize and perform predictive maintenance of products, machinery and systems.​​ 

  • 5G opportunities​​ 

    Gain powerful insights from a 5G-powered digital twin.​​ 

5G has the latency and throughput to capture near real-time IoT data and support digital twins.​​ 

5G could allow you to experiment, test and optimize the digital twin before implementing on the physical operation.​​ 

A 5G-enabled digital twin could handle the massive volume of data needed for an accurate analysis in manufacturing operations.​​ 

5G could also create increased flexibility with IoT deployment and configuration for a digital twin refinement.​​ 

Cómo funciona​​ 

    • What a digital twin could do for an aircraft engine design​​ 

      • An engineer sits at a computer monitoring and testing an aircraft engine’s digital twin.​​ 



      • The near real-time updates inform the engineer of the engine’s performance, issues and anomalies.​​ 



    • What a digital twin could do for an aircraft engine design​​ 

      • The physical engine is located in a manufacturing facility.​​ 

      • The engine has sensors in key locations that could send data in near real time utilizing multi-access edge computing (MEC) via a 5G network, enabling updates to the digital twin.​​ 



    • What a digital twin could do for an aircraft engine design​​ 

      • The engineer could simulate the engine’s life cycle and material stresses in various real-world environments and conditions virtually, with rapid testing and optimization.​​ 

      • 5G and MEC can deliver low latency and high bandwidth to capture data in near real time, helping with performance modeling and optimizations prior to physical implementation.​​
