This is the continuation of Digital twins part 2.

## A twin for all occasions
Depending on the industry and use case, digital twins can come in many forms.

Let's say for instance, a company or an organization may have have a digital twin that illustrates the sales and status of the business, and which maybe connected to the inputs and outcomes of the organization to indicate any error. All the same, still the same digital twin might even be linked to an exact element analysis platform, with this the digital twin could me able to show the changes of how the organization has been affected either in real-life efficiency and operation. 

At the end of the day, the products can be arrayed like a fighter jet, because everything has been mirrored in a 3D model. Still confused why the landing gear is stiff or stuck? easy thing; just push the landing gear and immediately it will zoom into a subsystem. Don't stop zooming until you find the problem. 

## Where are we now?
In 2017, the digital twin as one of the top strategic technology trend. Consequently, it's unsurprising that the digital twin made it's way into the Gartner Hype circle for emergencies technologies regardless of the obstacles on the way.

From the above chat, you can see that digital twins are undoubtedly in the in the innovation trigger phase. this connotes that there is a low adoption and most of their usage is presently primarily limited to the research institute. Right above the chat, you will notice that the technology's plateau of productivity ( adoption and widespread) will come to pass in 5-10 years.

According to researchers, 48% of business are presently using 1ot technology, and are looking for a way to implement a digital twin in 2019. Also, researchers every manufacturer with 50% and assets of $5billion must have at least one digital twin initiate prepared for use in 2020.

What does this mean to us, well it tells us that the digital twin is undoubtedly emerging as the technology that has captured the imaginations of investors, manufacturers, and business tycoons. But all the same, that is not the main point, one may ask, when is it ready for prime? nevertheless we can expect the charge to be directed by high-end producers that are financially buoyant. 

The investors (in other words, the big guys) will be taking the risk of early adoption because they are financially buoyant and they stand to be the ones to benefit the most. 

## Mirroring complex systems
Basically, we now have an idea what a digital twin is,  what stage of technical flexibility are we currently attaining now?

Complex systems will never perform accurately unless without the presence multi-domain and illustrations of sensors.  Presently. it is one of the crucial applications of the digital twin  With the absence of digital twin, it is estimated to prove validity performance, it will take 40 billion kilometers of physical testing.

That's a whole lot of test driving one may say. 

The representation of software and hardware it is important to note that users are allowed to apply 3D model data across the entire universe. Those days when designing a part in CD are all gone. To test the power of digital twins, they have the capacity to transform a dumb CAD models into a dynamic and living components in respect to the twin. 

And once you have mastered this technology, corresponding in building the digital twin. You can expect the the digital twin development to trickle down and attain a higher state of adoption.
