Digital twins – known as virtual twins when data is communicated via a scientifically accurate 3D model – are among the most powerful digital transformation innovations for bridging the information gap between real world operations and imagining the art of the possible.
Virtual twins are real-time, virtual representations of a product, platform or even an ecosystem as complex as a city. Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform is one way to create virtual twins, used to invent, model, and test disruptive innovations. By eliminating the need for physical prototypes, they reduce time to market. By enabling collaboration and rapid design iteration in the virtual world, they reduce the risk associated with complex projects and improve regulatory compliance.
Digital or virtual twins has been a hot topic for years. However, some companies have yet to embark on this journey, while others have started – each with different strategies and goals. With that in mind, we have two simple questions to start some lively discussion:
If you haven’t started your journey yet, what do you think the biggest hurdle would be in implementing your digital or virtual twin?
For those of you who have started their digital or virtual twin journey, what functional area did you start in and why?
