The Critical Role of GIS, Geolocation, and Spatial Analytics for Digital Twins

Montesquieu, a man of letters, said: "the better is the mortal enemy of the good." The Pareto Principle employs the proverb numerically as the 80/20 rule. Applied to engineering, we typically strive to achieve the majority of the outcome with the smallest amount of effort. We try not to waste time and profitability on needlessly improving a design that’s already good.

At some point, however, good becomes not good enough. The digital twin, for example, helps us understand and measure the present. Simulation coupled with the virtual twin experience adds additional perspective.  

WHAT WILL BE COVERED 

The webinar will show how the virtual twin experience can be applied to tackle sustainability challenges. Looking at industrial application examples, Dr. Luzzato will show what is “good enough” today, while providing a glimpse of what will be achievable in the near future. 

Dr. Luzzato will walk through the virtual twin experience, starting with designing a 3d model that represents the shape, dimensions and properties of an industrial system. Simulations can be run on that virtual model to explore how the system will behave when assembled, operated, or subjected to a range of events.

He will look at how the virtual twin experience enables technologists to visualize, model and simulate an entire environment. This facilitates sustainable business innovation throughout the product lifecycle.

Generative AI and Sustainability

In our previous webinar on Responsible Generative Artificial Intelligence, participants voted overwhelmingly in favor of increased regulation surrounding creating and deploying Generative AI systems. 

The European Union has been the first to propose regulation. The UK is looking towards a pro-innovation form of regulation, with the US securing voluntary commitments from leading AI companies. 

Intellectual property is a significant concern, as well as risks to the public, in the areas of bias, privacy, and trustworthiness. 

On October 4, John Easton of IBM will discuss the potential implications of these emerging regulations, intellectual property concerns, and the role of AI ethics. Cheranellore Vasudevan will provide an overview of the upcoming Responsible Generative Artificial Intelligence White Paper.

A Responsible Approach to Regulating Generative Artificial Intelligence

Lucile and Stephane motivate you to see IT differently in this thought-provoking presentation. Starting by introducing responsible computing and green IT, they move on to show what makes a typical web page, what happens with the processing, and why many parts can be removed, saving energy, costs, and improving user retention, which is linked together.

How to Spot the Waste in IT and Web Development

Governments, social scientists, technologists, and even the heads of AI organizations are expressing concerns about the potential misuse of the power unleashed by Foundation Models and Generative AI. Many nations and organizations have already started taking steps to regulate this powerful technology to prevent possible misuse and disruption of the societal fabric. Fear and concerns are synonymous with the approach toward nuclear technology worldwide. 

The teams of the Object Management Group (OMG) Responsible Computing Initiative launched a Tiger team to study and evaluate the potential concerns regarding Generative AI Techniques (GAIT) and recommend ways to channel the capabilities of GAIT responsibly to benefit society. 

Specific objectives include investigations on how to:

- Instill trust and reduce bias in the data used to build GAI models.
- Recommend proper and ethical use of AI models whilst protecting the intellectual rights of authors, artists, and other professionals.
- Regulate the proliferation of AI models to ensure no disruptive effects on employment, society, and the environment.
- Educate the consumers, administrators, and governmental bodies on the dangers and limitations of excessive use of AI models.

The different tracks of this initiative are:

• Ensure trustworthy Generative AI Models, which must be based on accurate and unbiased data.
• Impact on the Labor market, especially many white-collar jobs like copywriters, interpreters, and even professionals like investment advisors, editors, lawyers, customer support professionals, creative writers, doctors, etc.
• Issues related to IP, copyright violation, ownership, royalty, etc.
• Impact on the environment with the power-hungry deep learning process to build(train) GAI models.

Michael Linehan (OMG) and Cheranellore Vasudevan (IBM) will present their thoughts as they start their work on this initiative.

Transforming Aerospace & Defense with Digital Twins - a Lockheed Martin Use Case

The Digital Twin Consortium Technology Showcase features a new sustainability use case: a remote operations center (ROC) for wind farms based on digital twins. The ROC increases wind energy production, reduces downtime, and enhances turbine maintenance efficiency and safety. 

A digital twin provides a virtual representation of the physical wind farm, synchronized at a high frequency and fidelity. Using IoT devices, sensors, and communication protocols, the ROC collects data from wind turbines and equipment.  

This allows operators to monitor and predict changes without disrupting operations. By providing a platform for remote decision-making, the twins enable performance optimization and operational efficiency.

Join XMPRO’s Gavin Green, as he takes a look inside the remote operations center, breaks down how it works, and illustrates its value.

DTC Use Case: A Digital Twin-Based Remote Operations Center for Wind Farms

Today’s manufacturing lines require remote verification of manufacturing components in real-time, as they are conveyed across the factory. In this use case, featured in the DTC's Technology Showcase, a digital twin of a manufacturing cell enables manipulation and quality control inspection of manufacturing cells using Virtual Reality. 

The goal of the project is to increase the flexibility of manufacturing lines to adapt them to today’s remote inspection scenarios. This prevents stopping production when an operator is remotely located.

Dr. Ander García will overview outcomes including:
A digital twin of the manufacturing cell that can be manipulated and inspected.
A realistic demonstrator that includes real-time remote operators.
 Improvements required in the post-Covid manufacturing world, notably operator location flexibility.
Tracking of energy efficiency, performance metrics, and maintainability of the manufacturing line.
