Intelligent Digital Twin (IDT)

The Intelligent Digital Twin (IDT) transforms traditional digital twin concepts from manufacturing-focused replicas to comprehensive business ecosystem models. Unlike conventional digital twins that mirror physical assets, IDT creates living, breathing representations of entire business operations, processes, and organizational dynamics.

Core Concepts

Beyond Manufacturing: Business Digital Twins

While traditional digital twins focus on physical assets like machinery and production lines, AIMatrix IDT extends this concept to capture:

  • Process Dynamics: Workflow patterns, decision trees, and approval chains
  • Organizational Behavior: Team interactions, communication patterns, and cultural dynamics
  • Market Relationships: Customer journeys, supplier networks, and partner ecosystems
  • Financial Flows: Revenue streams, cost structures, and investment patterns

Mirror Worlds: Complete Business Replication

Mirror worlds represent the pinnacle of digital twin technology—complete, synchronized replicas of business environments that exist in parallel with the physical world.

    twin = DigitalTwin.create(
    name="my_business_process",
    model=my_process,
    data_sources=["erp", "crm", "logs"]
)

  3. Run Initial Simulation
