If you’ve ever worked with an #IoT platform, you might have noticed it typically has you define a simple schema or #DigitalTwin Model for an entire person, machine or environmental system.
Digital Twins & Subsystems
The Digital Thread
To create an historical record of what happens to an instance of a #DigitalTwin throughout its entire lifecycle, you represent this with something called a #DigitalThread.
The Digital Twin Instance
It’s time to create a #DigitalTwin Instance of a physical entity that is derived from a Digital Twin Model.
Digital Twin Models and Rules
As part of my series on #DigitalTwins, I’ve discussed the creation of a Digital Twin Model which defines a type, or class of physical entity from which instances of digital twins are derived. Once you’ve added telemetry, virtual, static, or command properties, it’s time to make use of this #metadata with rules.
Digital Twin Models and Command Properties
In the event your #IoT platform needs to work with industrial control systems where it’s necessary to send messages to trigger actuators, you’ll define one or more “command properties” in your #DigitalTwin model.
Digital Twin Models and Static Properties
The static properties enumerated by a #DigitalTwin model represents #IoT #data that typically doesn’t change.
Digital Twin Models and Virtual Properties
Another interesting aspect of a #DigitalTwin Model is the use of virtual, or calculated properties to derive additional #IoT value.
Digital Twin Models and Telemetry Properties
Your #DigitalTwin Model and its telemetry properties are an essential part of the #IoT #data flow from device to #analytics.
Common Sense Connected Intelligence for 2020
When it comes to Connected Intelligence technologies like #Mobile, #5G and the #InternetOfThings, I’m all about moving the “Value Needle” as quickly, easily and sustainably as possible.
Commitment to Combating Climate Change
In 2020 I’m committing to accelerate my efforts in combating #climatechange while helping to achieve many of the United Nations #Sustainable Development Goals #SDGs.
