We know the digital twin as a combination of one or more data sets and a visual representation of the physical object it mirrors.  Digital twins are morphing to meet the practical needs of users. In asset-heavy industries, optimizing production, improving product quality, and predictive maintenance have all amplified the need for a digital representation of both the past and present condition of a process or asset. 

An industrial digital twin is the aggregation of all possible data types and data sets, both historical and real-time, directly or indirectly related to a given physical asset or set of assets in an easily accessible, unified location.

The collected data must be trusted and contextualized, linked in a way that mirrors the real world, and made consumable for a variety of use cases.

Digital twins must serve data in a way that aligns to how operational decisions are made. As a result, you may need multiple twins, as the type and nature of decisions are different. A digital twin for supply chain, one for different operating conditions, one that reflects maintenance, one that's for visualization, one for simulation—and so on.

What this shows is that a digital twin isn't a monolith, but an ecosystem. To support that ecosystem, you company/group need an efficient way of populating all the different digital twins with data in a scalable way.
