Digital Twins Provide Ample Benefits in Manufacturing

Digital Twins in manufacturing are dynamic replicas that are designed to capture, map, and structure process variables into a continuously updated database.

This database can then be accessed and used across the organization. By making this data more readily available in a digital environment, teams can use data in other applications, models, or third-party programs to make meaningful discoveries.

Dynamic replicas in the manufacturing sector are important and extremely cost effective. Once an organization has a digital replica of their process with all the data from relevant sources linked to the right end product (called a process map model), they can start solving their biggest challenges.

Additionally, engineers and data scientists can save time using process Digital Twins. A Digital Twin automates data pulling, cleaning, structuring, and transforming.

This is an important aspect of Digital Twins in manufacturing because it puts  the most important information directly into the hands of your skilled engineers. Your teams can then focus on solving problems that move your company forward instead of manual data manipulation. 

Additionally, the use of digital twins in manufacturing empower operators to continuously monitor processes and systems to evaluate the most efficient methods. If the production flow isn’t operating at the ideal capacity, a digital twin will immediately reveal opportunities for improvement.

By increasing production efficiency, Digital Twins help smart manufacturers reach their sustainability goals by reducing energy and material consumption.

Also, Digital Twin technology enables comparing products and their manufacturing conditions which can help identify why some batches have more variability, defects, or inefficiencies.

Ultimately, these insights can help organizations repeat their best runs or the “golden batch.”
