Build digital twins on live IoT data: architectures, 3D twins, simulation and how MQTT streams keep a twin in sync with the physical world.
The Asset Administration Shell is the Industry 4.0 standard for describing industrial assets as digital twins. Learn its structure, the three AAS types, and a practical pattern for feeding live submodel values from MQTT.
Build a browser-based conveyor digital twin whose rollers and parcels move at the real belt speed from MQTT, highlights jams, counts throughput and sends start, stop and reset commands back to the line.
A practical guide to factory digital twin use cases and architecture, showing how line-level and plant-level twins are fed by ISA-95 structured MQTT data.
A beginner-friendly ESP32 digital twin: the board publishes a potentiometer, a button and an LED state over MQTT, a Three.js model in the browser mirrors them in real time, and clicking the 3D LED switches the real one.
A guide to using the ISA-95 equipment hierarchy to organize digital twin models and MQTT topics, including Sparkplug B republishing, naming rules and a validation script.
How wind turbine digital twins use SCADA data published over MQTT to monitor yield against the power curve, estimate loads and plan maintenance, with topic design and code.
Device shadows and digital twins are often confused. Learn how they differ in scope, data and purpose, when each one is enough, and how to build a portable device shadow with retained MQTT topics.
Build a browser-based Three.js digital twin of a tank and a motor that reacts to live MQTT telemetry over secure WebSocket, with a Node.js simulator, smooth interpolation and production tips.
How digital twins combine live condition data streamed over MQTT with physics and data-driven models to forecast failures, with a working Python example and rollout checklist.
A practical guide to digital twin technology: what a twin really is, the main types, a reference architecture, and how to feed a live 3D model with real-time MQTT data.
