Digital twin technology has a wide range of potential applications. For existing assets, it can be an invaluable tool in optimizing OEE – providing real-time analysis of system’s performance and predictive alerts for operations management.
Where there is a requirement for automation or optimization, it allows operators to simulate a wide variety of scenarios in a virtual environment before committing any physical resources. Finally, for transformational initiatives, or the creation of something new, it provides a risk-free environment for testing and development.
