Digital Twin – Modeling Interrelated Devices
We can derive other operational information such as:
Available instantaneous water volume
Capacity to support water flow using available water volume
Model outgoing water flow based on historical data
Next the JSON digital twin representation for the pump device is:
Figure 4 Pump JSON Digital Twin model
Similar to the tank device, this JSON model shows static properties (tags), telemetry data
(reported) and Commands (desired). GUID#2 is a generated unique ID that identifies this device.
Again we could derive operational information such as:
Calculate if the pump can keep up with the incoming supply of water
Predictive maintenance alerts for the pump using historical power, flow or accumulated
run time, etc.
