Demystifying a Digital Twin for Agile Process Manufacturing

February 24, 2023

Demystifying a Digital Twin for Agile Process Manufacturing
Business demands have forced manufacturers to be more agile. Smart manufacturers are adopting technology, specifically digital twins, to move faster. Using a digital twin in a manufacturing environment can fast-track discovering bottlenecks, drive efficiencies, lower costs, reduce environmental footprint, and help manage risk. However, there is mystery around digital twins, from defining what they are and their strengths to the critical importance of an ecosystem approach to address the diversity of digital twin scenarios. The goal of this paper is to demystify digital twins, so more manufacturers can apply the technology and bring agility to their operations.
