Role of digital twins in the build phase
- When I speak of the build phase, I'm referring to both the construction of products and systems and also to the systems that manufacture products. In both areas, digital twins are beginning to play a major role. In design, a digital twin is used to create the optimum solution. It is the result of exhaustive simulations and rich data that specify areas such as best architecture, configuration, materials, and cost. More advanced digital twins can produce specifications for the manufacturing process, including the production line, the metrics that must be captured during build, and testing procedures for parts and the end product. As you can imagine, it's really helpful to understand how a production line might perform for a given product before that production line is built. A digitally-enabled manufacturing plant, called a smart factory, may have digital twins from design through to fully manufactured products, and…
