  • Enhance Innovation and Agility with Digital Twins Executive Summary
    Enhance innovation and agility with Digital Twins Executive Summary There’s no denying we live in uncertain and rapidly changing times and companies are looking for every opportunity to become more agile. Digital twins is a rapidly emerging technology that delivers to this end. Not to be confused as a mere dashboard, a digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, machine part, system, process or entire lifecycle. Digital twin technology enables real-time monitoring and control, the ability to learn with AI and ML, to autonomously update, self-heal, and even improve systems and designs over time. This paper seeks to achieve four objectives. First, to help the reader understand Digital twin technology and its potential. Second, to provide a structured way of looking at the various use cases and applications of this technology. Third, to feature Microsoft partners who have differentiated capabilities that bring digital twin visions to life. Fourth, to discuss the Azure Digital Twin platform and other investments from Microsoft in this space. Digital twin technology is commonly applied to manufacturing across key applications that span manufacturing scenarios/use-cases. The priority scenarios, or use cases, as they relate in Manufacturing are 1) Product, 2) Factory, 3) Supply Chain, and 4) Spaces. The top applications include configuration management, asset management, process control, performance management and simulation modeling. Configuration management tracks bills of materials, around assets as designed, manufactured, configured, and maintained. E.g. For complex & expensive assets like aircrafts this information is typically maintained by tail number. Asset management deals with telemetry of an asset itself and gives insight in to how something is working.
