Digital Twin Real-Time Process Mirror Pro
Build a Real-Time Digital Twin That Mirrors Industrial Processes Every 500ms
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform a physical process—a pump, a conveyor, a temperature chamber—into a synchronized digital replica that refreshes its state every half-second. This kit harnesses the Portenta X8’s Linux core to stream DHT22 humidity/temperature and ACS712 current sensor readings to AWS IoT Device Shadow, while the onboard M4 microcontroller instantly translates shadow desired-state commands into relay actuations. The result is a zero-code-gap industrial mirror capable of remote monitoring and control, useful for predictive maintenance trials or Smart India Hackathon proofs-of-concept.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a DIN-rail-mounted process mirror module that autonomously logs timestamped sensor data to microSD and drives a 4-channel relay based on cloud instructions. An onboard OLED displays current shadow sync status and RTC time. The completed unit mimics a factory edge node ready for panel deployment, with the Portenta Max Carrier providing industrial I/O isolation and regulated 3.3V/5V rails from the 24V supply.
What You'll Learn
- Provisioning AWS IoT Core device certificates and creating a Device Shadow with bidirectional MQTT topics
- Writing hybrid firmware: Linux handles networking and shadow JSON, M4 executes real-time actuation with hard timing
- Implementing timestamped sensor logging using DS3231 RTC and FAT32 microSD storage for off-line audit trails
- Designing a noise-filtered analog front-end with 100nF decoupling and buck-regulated power for stable sensor readings

Who This Kit Is For
Engineers prototyping predictive maintenance for factory machinery will appreciate the 500ms shadow sync loop and relay-driven control. B.Tech ECE/EEE final-year students can use it for a capstone project aligned with Industry 4.0, while Smart India Hackathon teams gain a ready-to-demo digital twin stack. It also suits startup CTOs validating edge-to-cloud architectures before committing to large IoT gateways.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The included AI companion gives step-by-step debug prompts for shadow sync issues or wiring errors. If you need a human, message us on WhatsApp—we typically respond within hours.
Can this kit monitor a real conveyor belt motor?
Absolutely. Connect the ACS712 in series with the motor’s power line and clamp a DHT22 nearby. The kit will stream motor current draw and ambient conditions to the cloud shadow, and relays can cut power if current exceeds a threshold set from the cloud.
Do I need prior AWS cloud experience?
No. The guided tutorial covers creating an AWS IoT Thing, attaching a policy, and loading the certificate onto the X8’s Linux filesystem. You’ll be up and running within the first build session.
Is the DIN rail enclosure panel-ready?
Yes, it snaps onto standard 35mm DIN rails and includes knockouts for sensor and relay field wiring, making it suitable for prototyping directly inside existing electrical panels.
X8 Linux syncs sensor state to AWS IoT Device Shadow every 500ms. M4 handles hardware actuation from shadow desired state.
