5. Digital Twin
For the past 15 years or so, companies around the world have been working with digital twins to test out various devices. A digital twin is created on a computer after the targeted device – such as an airplane engine – is analyzed in depth with the help of countless sensors. Then, the parent company can test how that engine would react in a given simulated situation.
There are already billions of digital twins in the world and the number will only continue to grow over the years as companies choose this method to secure their work, testing countless scenarios in the process, while also saving money. In fact, there’s an industry-wide expectancy that soon testing will only be done via the virtual side of the digital twins, making this one of the amazing 10 technologies of the future 2020.
