The Role of Digital Twins in Manufacturing Operations

InsightDotTech Talk

Today, companies are on a never-ending quest to cut costs and shrink production time. To achieve those goals, they increasingly turn to digital twins to pinpoint process failures before any product goes into production.

While available for years, this virtual-model technology increasingly helps organizations test performance and efficacy by transferring live data from a real-world system to its digital replica. The result: instant visual feedback that elevates risk assessment and decision-making.

In this podcast, we examine the central role that digital-twins technology plays in machine testing, simulation, monitoring, staff training, and maintenance. In addition, we detail how factories harvest mountains of data by using digital twins to pinpoint valuable information and extract maximum value.

Join us as we explore these ideas with:

Martin Garner, COO of CCS Insights Ricky Watts, Industrial Solutions Director at Intel®Christina Cardoza, Associate Editorial Director at insight.tech
