How do Digital Twins help the manufacturing industry?

A digital twin builds mechanisms to mirror the state of a thing, which may be a physical or virtual asset, a process, person or organization, or collections thereof. Despite or perhaps due to COVID-19’s impact, companies have shown an increasing interest in digital twins as the reflection of the real business processes and assets helps to make better decisions while minimizing the presence of people. That being said, it is important to understand that Digital Twin projects are not technology projects but business projects using technology to solve real business problems.

How does it help achieve operational excellence in your plant?

Due to the increasing deployment of digital twins by process industry leaders and the challenge of the growing skills gap in the industry, manufacturing and oil and gas focused companies are turning to new solutions to keep their plants running.
