The use of a digital twin

Have you ever heard of a digital twin?

A digital twin is a digital illustration of a physical product and plays an important role in Industry 4.0. With a digital twin, data from a physical product is captured and integrated into a digital model. As a result, digital twins offer several advantages and the possible applications are extremely diverse.

Automated companies have already created digital twins for their products. The collection of all information required for the digital twin is usually stored in large databases. This means that the user has to invest time to find the right product from a large amount of data.

The software SecIdent provides a solution for this issue.

SecIdent generates tamper-proof serial numbers that can be verified online. Once verified, the user is redirected to a response page that can be customized by the manufacturer. This response page can include targeted links or provide product-specific documents. This means that all documents describing a specific product are stored in one place, and products can always be accurately identified without much effort. As a result, the efficiency of the processes is improved and the effort and susceptibility to errors are reduced.
