process, I am not sure that it
is completely clear to
everyone what the purpose of
sensors and IoT is and how
they support digital twin
technology.
In order to help readers better
understand the role of
sensors and IoT in digital twin
technology, I will provide
answers to the following
fundamental questions
regarding data collection in
digital twins:
• What are the sensors?
• What are sensors used for
and what is their purpose?
• What is IoT (Internet of
Things) and what is IIoT
(Industrial Internet of Things)?
• What is the connection
between the sensor and the
IoT?
• How and where to store the
collected data from the
analysis sensor?
What Are The
Sensors?
In digital twin technology, sensors
are defined as digital devices,
which artificially represent certain
sensations that are defined in
biology as senses. With the help
of sensors, various information
and data from the environment
can be collected for the purpose
of their further processing and
analysis.
The main role of the sensor is to
perform various measurements
for the influences from its
environment, in given time
intervals, and to convert physical
data from the real world into
digital data, which are further
analyzed and result in great
savings for investors and clients.
The purpose of using the sensor
is to, by constant or periodic
measurements at predetermined
intervals, measure all changes
and events that are defined as
valuable for observation. The
data thus collected is later
converted into digital data for the
purpose of data processing and
analysis.
