Digital Twin Utilization Scenarios That Will Change the Way Industries Work

The digital twin technique of producing new value by linking a real space (physical space) and a digital space (cyberspace) is attracting attention. This is a technology to capture data from a real space and then reproduce it in high precision in a digital space. It makes it possible to predict and simulate what will occur in the real space. We explain here how digital twins are being applied and what kind of effects they produce.

Digital Twins: Creating Virtual Replicas of Real Spaces to Drive Innovation

A "digital twin" refers to a technique to reproduce a virtual reality in a digital space (cyberspace) using information from a real space (physical space). Creating twins of real spaces in digital spaces is expected to produce value. We explain the basic concept of digital twins, their components, and examples of their application.

CEATEC 2023

Contributing to the Realization of Society 5.0 with “Proximity and Force Sensor” and “Invisible ID Tags”

The future of a society in which digital technology plays a major part in our everyday lives is upon us. there is demand for ever more sophisticated interface technology closely connecting humans and machines and technology linking things and data. Murata Manufacturing has developed a “proximity and force sensor” that paves the way toward innovations in human–machine interfaces (HMIs), and “invisible ID tags” that make it possible to append authentication information without reducing the attractiveness of the product design. Examples of both were revealed at CEATEC 2023.

3D City Models Accelerate the Creation of Smart Cities and Digital Twins, Data-Driven Efforts in Electronics

Sophisticated 3D city models are indispensable for creating smart cities and digital twins. Many countries are developing and establishing open data compatible with the international standard CityGML. This article presents various applications of sophisticated 3D city models—including city planning, disaster prevention planning, and simulating the installation and operation of electronic equipment—using Plateau, Japan’s CityGML-compatible 3D city model considered to be the most extensive in the world.
