By capturing fast-changing geometries and transient effects, optical systems keep digital twins syncronized under real operating conditions. This measurement speed supports tighter feedback loops between physical processes, simulations, and control systems. As a result, digital twins move from static references to active decision engines grounded in measurable reality.

Vision is moving closer to the edge – and shrinking fast.
