Introduce Yourself
-
- I am Ben Walshaw and I am the founder of Fusion242.
- Fusion242 is a software company and we produce a digital twin and smart data platform called Fusion Gemini

We predominately work in creating digital twins of energy assets (renewable, non-renewable, water – we model over 60k in over 20k locations) but are currently building basic models for healthcare, construction and agriculture. Any help is most welcome!! I’m happy to give a demo of our platform upon request.
I’ve attached a product brochure for anyone interested.

Hello DT world 🙂
So, looking at my profile it dawns on me that i actually landed here back in 2020, even posted in a couple of forums. Then work, and time seems to have escaped me and so here I am, years later, saying “hello” and really interested in how i still seem to find myself need to explain digital twins as if it was some strange alien concept to experienced and genuinely talented data specialist. I don’t know about you but i think i have found my way back here because of a slight change in the wind direction and perhaps things are starting to change?
So, and way…

Hi Everyone,
I’m Ryan Gordon from Aberdeen, Scotland. I work as the Business Development Manager for National Subsea Centre (NSC), which is a Centre of Excellence for subsea research and technology development, delivered through partnership between Robert Gordon University (RGU) and Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC), through the Aberdeen City Region Deal.
We have recently established an Asset Digital Twin Laboratory (ADT-LAB) with our Anchor Partner, SeaFlo Consultancy. The ADT-LAB will bring together experienced subsea asset engineers with research computer scientists to research, develop and deploy asset digital twins to enable predictive maintenance.
The core expertise within the NSC are data science and AI, optimisation and machine learning, digital twins and simulation, machine vision and remote sensing, techno-economic modelling, smart materials and manufacturing, robotics, renewable energy systems and decarbonisation, marine ecosystems and sustainable environment modelling.
I am looking to learn more about what is going on in the Digital Twin space and identify area for collaboration on future project. Please feel free to give me a shout if you would like to introduce yourself, or learn more about the NSC, short intro video can be found here. You can also keep up to date with our latest developments via out LinkedIn page here.
Thanks

Hello. My Name’s Vivek.
I have just joined the Digital Twin Network after reviewing Project 13 and its implementation in my Organisation.
I am currently day 3 into a new role working in a team tasked with renewing conventional UK Railway Track.
I have completed vocationally aligned degree courses specific to Track Engineering and currently a member of the PWI, working my way gradually to professional registration.
As a new starter everything is new to me, however I arrived at a perfect time where I will be learning afresh, alongside my learned colleagues, the implementation of the Principles of Project 13.
I have no plan for using Digital Twin Knowledge at the moment however I have heard a lot of interesting stories about it and want to do a deep dive into its workings and come away with the knowledge to form a plan for its use in my daytime role.
I have decided to approach the DTHub by way of the Project 13 Hub. Project 13 is having huge implications for my current organisation. I want to understand it in detail including its workings and interdisciplinary relationships.
No meetups or events attended yet.
No examples of work completed with Digital Twins – all of this is new to me
I will be seeing Polish metal band Batuska later in the evening and then will depart on short break to Iceland
