# :factory: :left_right_arrow: :busts_in_silhouette: Digital Twin as a Service

## :grinning: Motivation

The Digital Twin as a Service (DTaaS) software platform is useful
to <font color="orange"> **Build, Use and Share** </font> digital twins (DTs).

:mechanical_arm: <font color="orange">**Build**</font>: DTs are built on DTaaS using
reusable DT assets available on the platform.

:office_worker: :factory_worker: <font color="orange">**Use**</font>: Run your
DTs on DTaaS.

:handshake: <font color="orange">**Share**</font>: Share ready-to-use DTs
with other users. It is also possible to share the services
offered by one DT with other users.

## :rocket: Install and Use

Please use the latest release available on
the [releases page](https://github.com/INTO-CPS-Association/DTaaS/releases)
and its [documentation](https://into-cps-association.github.io/DTaaS/)

### Independent Packages

put together to form the complete DTaaS application.

These packages are published on
[npmjs](https://www.npmjs.com/org/into-cps-association), and
