1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying a plurality of existing IoT devices at a location;
generating a digital twin model for each of the plurality of existing IoT devices at the location, wherein the digital twin model is based on data gathered from a plurality of sensors on the plurality of existing IoT devices;
identifying one or more physical tasks performed by each of the plurality of existing IoT devices at the location;
receiving a selection for a new IoT device for introduction to the location with the plurality of existing IoT devices based on the one or more physical tasks performed by each of the plurality of existing IoT devices and the generated digital twin models for the plurality of existing IoT devices;
responsive to determining one or more physical tasks performable by the new IoT device, determining whether the new IoT device is suitable for the introduction to the location with the plurality of existing IoT devices based on the one or more physical tasks performable by the new IoT device physically interfering with at least one existing IoT device from the plurality of existing IoT devices; and
responsive to determining the new IoT device is suitable for the introduction to the location with the plurality of existing IoT devices based on the one or more physical tasks performable by the new IoT device not physically interfering with the at least one existing IoT device from the plurality of existing IoT devices, performing a configuration for the new IoT device based on the one or more physical tasks performable by the new IoT device at the location.
