Digital Twins Albion Marine Solutions aims to provide new industry tools that will enable vessel brokers, project managers, and inspectors to remotely access vessels, saving them time and money while lowering the risk of unforeseen conditions and change orders. A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical entity or framework. Data can be analyzed, and systems can be monitored by combining the virtual and physical worlds in simulations to avoid unintended consequences, reduce downtime, discover new opportunities, and even plan for the future. The technology underlying digital twins has evolved to include large objects such as machinery, buildings, and even ships.
