As some of you have likely seen in the movie Apollo 13, it was an early example of using a twins to experiment and solve some rather complex problems for things that were not within physical proximity to them.
If you’re not familiar with the term Digital Twin, it’s one of the most interesting solutions for business today. Digital Twin is not an entirely new concept. It has been popularized through the rise of Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT and can dramatically transform the way we understand our assets, how they’re used in the real world, how people use them, and what experiences they take away. I could describe its impact in to business it would be agility, loyalty, and quality [note: this line is repeated in speaker notes on following slide]
You can make a create digital Twin of a Mars Rover but you can also Twin places or spaces!! You can create digital twins an oil platform or a water pump, an elevator or escalator, a car or cruise ship. Each asset also has a unique story to tell during its life and the story or experience might change dramatically from business to business. Using digital data, we can SEE, LISTEN, TOUCH and experiment and learn more each experience than we could previously and use this to improve design, build and operations. Of course, this digital data, tells only PART of the story!
It is our goal at IBM is to help planes, trains, buildings, elevators, pumps and platforms tell their complete story! We believe Digital Twin is the best way for that story to be told!
What is the Digital Twin?
The digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object or system across its life- cycle from real-time digital data, and other sources, to enable learning, reasoning, and dynamically recalibrating for improved decision making.
Digital twins provide a way to model and manage the complexities inherent in many products today. Many products now have embedded software and therefore processing capability within them, are customizable and require complex manufacturing processes, supply chains and extended value chains to design, develop, produce and service.
