Sensor Data
Sensor Data refers to the continuous streams of measurements collected by physical sensors (temperature, pressure, vibration, load, etc.) attached to equipment or products. This data feeds Digital Twins and enables real-time operational awareness.
Why it matters
Sensor Data is the lifeblood of Digital Twins. The completeness, accuracy, and real-time nature of sensor data directly determines the fidelity and usefulness of the digital model.
