OEE Monitoring Systems (typically part of IIoT platforms) help organizations:
  • Track real-time production efficiency

  • Identify bottlenecks and downtime causes

  • Optimize scheduling and maintenance

  • Improve operational productivity

Using sensors, PLCs, SCADA, and IoT devices, OEE data can be captured automatically and displayed via dashboards (e.g., Grafana, Power BI), enabling continuous improvement and better decision-making.

What is a Digital Twin?

A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset, system, or process. It uses real-time data from IoT sensors and historical data to simulate the behavior and performance of its physical counterpart.

It goes beyond monitoring—it predicts, analyzes, and optimizes.
Digital Twin Systems Typically Include:
  • Real-time sensor data streams

  • 3D models or process diagrams

  • Predictive analytics and machine learning models

  • Simulation engines to test scenarios and outcomes

Industrial Applications:
  • Asset performance management

  • Predictive maintenance

  • Process optimization

  • Carbon footprint simulation (e.g., emissions models)

  • Remote diagnostics and control
