Enabling a More Sustainable Future Through Virtual 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. WHO SHOULD ATTEND • Technologists and business executives across industries, committed to sustainability and taking their operational efficiency to the next level. • Technologists and business executives interested in learning more about digital twins of real world implementations, virtual twins, 3d simulation, and how they realize value. • Anyone interested in digital transformation or digital twins.
