[0054] The present invention provides a railway information room monitoring system based on digital twins, which provides an intelligent monitoring system using digital twin technology. It can monitor the operating status of the equipment in the room in real time, and predict the remaining life and potential failure risks of the equipment through data analysis, so as to carry out maintenance and replacement of related equipment in advance.
