Editorial – DTHub Release (23-04-2020)
In this note, I’d like to reflect on a successful launch for the DT Hub and look ahead at some exciting planned activities.
Launch
The formal launch of the DT Hub at the end of March generated considerable interest. I would like to express a personal thank you to all the members all your help in promoting it.More than 200 people registered their interest within just a few days, including innovators, stakeholders as well as asset owners. This was driven by a focus on personal sharing through social media, very much in line with our community ethos, which generated a real buzz with hundreds of engagements through “likes” and “shares”.
As part of the launch, we also created a beta version of a separate space in the portal for innovators from the supply chain and other key stakeholders. We are working with a small group of these organisations to test and help us refine this area. Connected to this, we are developing an “Open Forum” where we can host joint discussions between existing DT Hub Members and the supply chain – more on that below.
Coming next
We’ve lined up an interesting set of activities, each building on the three priority themes that we identified with you.Firstly, we’re excited to announce the “Digital Twin Talks”, with videos and facilitated online discussions in a public part of the Open Forum area. The first set of talks is a five-part series facilitated by @SimonEvans of Arup exploring how digital twins are defined and the overarching concepts around them.
Videos will be available from 9:00 each Tuesday with live discussions from 10:30 – 11:30. An introduction video is already available on the DT Hub home page. The first talk, on the 28th April, is “Towards a Web of Digital Twins” from Olivier Thereaux at the ODI.
We will also run a webinar for theme 3 addressing the “Pathway to value” for digital twins on Thursday 30th April and will send out the invitation within the next few days.
In addition, we will continue to share more content into the DT Hub to help spark discussions and follow up on themes 1 and 2 including: -
