IoT & Digital Twin

Connect real sensors. Stream live data. Build a working digital twin — in one day.
A practical, build-as-you-learn intensive for engineers who want results, not slides.

What You'll Build & Learn

By the end of the day every participant will have hands-on experience with a complete sensor-to-twin pipeline.

Sensor Integration

Configure physical IoT sensors and connect them via MQTT to a cloud or local broker in real time.

Live Data Pipelines

Design and deploy an event-driven pipeline that streams telemetry from edge to twin model.

Digital Twin Modelling

Build a lightweight digital twin that reflects live sensor state and updates in sub-second latency.

Dashboard Visualisation

Create a real-time monitoring dashboard displaying twin state, KPIs, and anomaly alerts.

Anomaly Detection

Apply threshold and rules to detect out-of-range conditions and trigger automated alerts.

Cloud & Edge Deployment

Deploy the finished pipeline on both cloud (AWS IoT / Open Source).


Full-Day Agenda

A tightly structured day mixing short concept bursts with extended hands-on labs. No death-by-slides.
