DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Introducing YugabyteDB
from IoT sensors during an entire physical lifecycle ,” explains Dr Phani Bhushan Sistu , IoT Solutions Lead , Hitachi Vantara . “ With this capability , digital twins can be deployed to simulate , predict , and optimise the performance of a physical asset across its value chain .”
Early examples of digital twins focused on the batch analysis of Big Data – and there are still good reasons for doing this kind of work , says Dai Clegg , Technology Evangelist , EMEA , Yugabyte .
“ But , over time and with the development of real-time analytics , we see digital twins being used to tweak realworld artefacts ' behaviour ,” says Clegg .

“ You could always do that with local instrumentation – for example , powering off overheating devices – but , if you need the big picture to make local decisions , you need real-time analytics on a centralised digital twin . An example might be smart cities altering the timings on traffic lights to optimise rush hour flow .” Digital twins could be put to work for individual humans as well as the cities they live in , says Clegg . “ The combination of personal health data , instrumentation and connectable diagnostics models could create early warnings for complex medical conditions as a routine and totally automated process ,” he suggests .
