Demonstrating tangible digital twin benefits – applications or user cases –  rather than just technology and data

Hi Dave, where do you stand on AndrewS’s point above? – “Show them it working. And yes, that means sorting out the data for them, and building a technical solution for them, before you get any investment from them.”

Hi Katie

Apologies for not interacting earlier, been finishing up at Openreach and now in between Jobs before starting as GIS Manager for a new company. Hopefully I can commit more time over the coming weeks.

Please see attached for my initial thoughts.

looking forward to tomorrows call.

thanks for all this pre-thinking Alan!  You will be fast out of the idea blocks tomorrow, and I’ll add your idea for the challenge on this post to the board along with all the others

Hi all,
I agree with many posts here: with @Teknick, having a clear definition of ‘Digital Twin’ and its elements (mandatory and optional); with @AndrewS show them a working case close to their knowledge, I would avoid too complex and fancy things in favour of something for which they can immediately see the applicability and benefit.
Then, showing them the benefits in clear numbers.@Anne post is a good summary.
Finally, a clear roadmap to be followed, including skills training and data improvements and specification can let them see concretely the issue and possible benefits.
See you later!

Hello all, apologies for being late to the party. 

 

I echo most of the comments above. Demonstrating tangible applications of Digital Twin through case studies builds confidence and breaks down the art of the possible into achievable chunks. In our mind, the Digital Twin is made up of a number of distinct elements (technologies etc) – “whole being greater than the sum of the parts”.

 

Definition and understanding of what a Digital Twin is critical and has been mentioned above. For the automotive sector, we have aligned on the definition below:  

A digital representation at the appropriate fidelity of a physical asset and its behaviour that is synchronised with its physical counterpart and interrogated to deliver value.

Amazing session this morning – thank you all, so great to share ideas with everyone.
