Manufacturing in general faces many challenges:
– Cost
– Lack of skilled resources
– Productivity / quality
– Product development & innovation
– Cost of certification / traceability
– Time to market
– Digitisation
– ‘Servitisation’ offers a different set of challenges:
• Contracting for availability
• Through life engineering
• Cost of service operations

What is a digital twin:
‘A virtual model of a process, product or service inextricably linked to it’s physical instantiation’
A Digital Twin requires 3 things:
• A physical product
• A virtual representation
• Connection of data and information between the physical & virtual
Equally applicable to the factory or the product (and the services that relate to it)
The ‘Digital Twin’ may enable some response

The Twin provides the critical link between the models, processes, data & sensors
The ‘Twin’ is a key enabler for other value add capabilities
– Product development – IDC predict 30% improvement in critical process cycle times
– Product efficiency – GE’s objective is to gain 20% efficiency from their wind turbines
by analysing the configuration of each turbine prior to construction
– Augmented reality promises increased levels of accuracy at rates of 30% faster than
achieved today
– Predictive / Prognostic analytics are already delivering benefits in through life
engineering
But why?

The Digital Twin as an enabler
Within the factory:
• Process optimisation• Real time / historic
production status• Scenario modelling• Optimised maintenance• Contextual information
for staff • Improved quality• VR training
Product design / evolution:
• Tight integration between the design and physical product
• Modelling & simulation based on real world data
• Greater understanding of component use in the real world
• Greater collaboration across the supply chain
• Traceability across the lifecycle• Enabler for virtual test / certification
8
MRO:
• ‘Real time’ system / sub-system /
component status
• Prognostic / preventative
maintenance regimes become viable
• Obsolescence management
• Enabler for Virtual / Augmented
Reality technology & prognostics

▶ Focus on the problem not the technology
– success requires business, OT & IT to work together like never before….
▶ Understand where the business benefit resides
– look at other industries where partial twins have been implemented
▶ Define an architecture which uses PLM as the backbone for the twin
▶ Start small, focus on a use case at a time & evolve
– building a twin is like building any product, it requires engineering disciplines to be applied
▶ Consider the entire process / system & the supply chain that supports
▶ Consider the provenance / ownership of the data being used
▶ Technology should be open and scalable
