1. A method for creating a digital twin of a beverage dispenser, wherein said beverage dispenser comprises at least one first tapping valve and a second tapping valve, wherein a first unique recognition element is associated with said first tapping valve and a second unique recognition element is associated with said second tapping valve, said method comprising:
A) providing a communication network comprising a cloud server provided with a storage wherein following data are stored:
one or more geographical areas,
for each geographical area one or more respective sites in which at least a beverage dispenser is placed, and
a plurality of beverages, different from each other;
B) selecting:

D) storing in said storage a data concerning said at least one first unique identification code;
E) acquiring at least one second unique identification code associated with said second tapping valve through said second unique recognition element;
F) storing in said storage a data concerning said at least one second unique identification code;
G) selecting a first beverage between said plurality of beverages;
H) associating said first beverage with said first tapping valve and storing in said storage a data concerning said first beverage associated with said first tapping valve;
I) selecting a second beverage between said plurality of beverages;
L) associating said second beverage with said second tapping valve and storing in said storage a data concerning said second beverage associated with said second tapping valve; and
