A digital twin is a digital model of an object, system or a process that acts the same as its real world counterpart.
Benefits
- It helps companies and organisations to understand a physical object or a process well.
- It helps in testing a solution or a design in simulation using the digital twin.
- It saves developers time and energy by simulating real-world scenarios.

The drone scanners utilised only 8 minutes to gather the data, achieving accuracy with up to 1-centimeter geotagging precision.
A total of 600 GB of data was captured for the creation of the digital twin
