Abstract
Operations and maintenance (O&M) system, and related methods, for a plurality of unique objects employing distinct digital twins. The O&M system comprises: a database subsystem for storing at least first and second distinct digital twins for each of the plurality of unique objects, each of the distinct digital twins having an identifier that uniquely associates it with one of the plurality of unique objects and which defines a unique virtual representation thereof. The system further includes a sensor subsystem operative to obtain operational data for each of the plurality of unique objects, and a digital twin comparison subsystem operative to compare outputs of the at least first and second distinct digital twins for each of the plurality of unique objects; the output of each distinct digital twin is a function of the operational data for its associated unique object, and the O&M system makes an operational or maintenance decision with respect to an object as a function of the comparison.
