Build a living digital replica of your real-world systems!
A digital twin is a software-based replica of a physical system that can be used to operate, monitor, and maintain it remotely. Working together, IoT sensors, 3D visualizations, simulation algorithms, AI models, and even robotics give a digital twin an impressive degree of control. This virtual environment is perfect for testing ideas, exploring "what if" scenarios, and unlocking insights—all without making costly changes in reality.
Digital Twins in Action teaches you how to:
Author Greg Biegel has developed numerous industry-scale digital twin platforms from the ground up. In Digital Twins in Action, he shares this unique experience with real-world insights about state of the art digital twins you can put into action today. There’s no niche academic theory—just a complete, practical introduction to every layer of the digital twin stack.

about the book
Digital Twins in Action is a hands-on guide to designing and building effective digital twins. In it, you’ll build a home-scale digital twin from the ground up. You’ll start with a framework for gathering requirements to ensure that what you deliver is perfectly suited to your needs. You’ll then work through the complete project step-by-step—from setting up sensors, to handling hardware, to working with embedded software. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have a twin that can generate 3D models from your phone, extract insights from video and text with computer vision, and even employ an AI agent. Along the way, Greg will point out techniques you can use to scale up your small twin.about the reader
For software developers and machine learning engineers. Some knowledge of physical systems engineering is helpful but not required.about the author
Greg Biegel has been building digital representations of physical systems for large organizations for over 20 years, including 6 years creating a state of the art industrial digital twin platform for a leading Australian energy producer. He holds Computer Science degrees from Rhodes University, South Africa and Trinity College, Dublin.
