Digital Twin

Digital twin a “digital representation of a physical object, person, or process, contextualised in a digital version of its environment.”

In the sense of a terminal, it is a digital model of the real-world terminal, with its system and processes that serves as the indistinguishable digital counterpart of it for practical purposes, such as simulation, integration, testing, monitoring, and maintenance. These digital twins are immensely useful for learning about the terminal and its landscape. Moreover, it offers unprecedented visibility and control over the operations of a terminal.
