What is 'twin drift' in factory simulation?

Twin drift occurs when sensor data batches arrive jumbled and out of sequence, causing the simulation to slowly desynchronize from the actual factory floor. This can lead to false bottleneck alerts and create real waste when managers act on inaccurate information.
