What's driving the next wave of industrial transformation? In this month's ARC Industry Talks – News, David Humphrey and Florian Güldner review the most-read industry topics of the past four weeks…
He comes to ARC this year with an excellent reputation in the market for being an expert on digital twins.
You send him to an event like Aviva World, and he comes back with a lot of information.
And I just want to share a couple of the tidbits from Jan. that he picked up at Aviva World.
Digital twins are moving beyond visualization, simulation, and asset monitoring into enterprise-wide intelligent platforms.
Aviva, Siemens, and Dassault Systems used different terminology for the same thing, living digital twin, comprehensive digital twin.
The next generation of twins connects physical assets, operational data, engineering knowledge, simulation, AI, and human expertise, and a key shift is from static models to continuously updated representations synchronized with real-world systems.
Jan's article emphasizes the rising importance of context, physical-based models, and AI for lifecycle decision-making.
And to sum it up, ARC's view is that digital twins are becoming a foundational architecture for linking engineering, operations, and enterprise intelligence.
We have this user group, the ODE, Open Digital Ecosystem, where they're talking a lot about the requirements from the users to have interchangeable open data systems.
And they have this... living digital twin that actually also is an ecosystem and it's not just in the hands of one single vendor.
Jan is, by the way, also writing a study as well as a Champions Radar on these topics.
