Benefits of Digital Twins in the Mirrored World

Generating digital twins are the first step for businesses en route to the reflected world. Leaders are combining data and insight to create an agile, connected future. 

FREMONT, CA: Leaders are driving the growth of the mirrored world by constructing massive networks of interconnected intelligent twins that include living simulations of entire factories, product lifecycles, supply chains, ports, and even cities. They use data and intelligence to depict the physical world in a digital space and address more significant concerns. The potential in the reflected world is directly proportional to the degree to which enterprises connect intelligent twins. Twins already allow enterprises to collect, view, and interpret data across projects and processes while employing AI for scenario modeling. 

Maximize the value of data

Intelligent twins can transform data into valuable, big-picture insights only if they are fed complete and correct data. COVID-19 indicated that organizations could not rely on historical data without checking and correcting their models as the world evolves. This method necessitates a real-time data analytics plan that includes provisions for IoT devices and sensors and data analysis and usage capabilities. When this is accomplished, businesses might have access to a new method of thinking and operating their businesses. Machines at the factory communicate over a 5G network, transmitting data to a network operations center, which powers a digital twin of the factory.

Freedom to experiment

Intelligent twins have significant simulation capabilities, allowing you to reinvent the innovation process once your data foundation is in place. Twins provide a risk-free environment to test new ideas, plan for many possible futures, and play out unlimited "what-if" situations. Intelligent twins enable AI-driven design, in which human workers and AI systems collaborate iteratively, reducing design and production timelines. They also allow a more considerable amount of the design to be completed in simulation, allowing practical manufacturing to be postponed until the last feasible moment, saving time and money. Intelligent twin applications expand beyond product development to areas such as personalization and security, in short, any area where future-focused intelligence and agility provide value.

Provides real-time perspective

In a world where global collaboration is more vital than ever, having a real-time perspective of what's going on within your organization isn't always enough. The bigger picture includes what's going on with your supply chains, delivery partners, and governments. In the future, organizations can share designs, information seamlessly, and insights across silos and ecosystems, virtually test how future products might interact, and do business in previously impossible ways. While it is yet a future in the making, the reflected reality will soon be the foundation upon which enterprises function their new mission control.
