Digital Twins

Why?

Digital Twin provide a holistic view on assets, products and processes and besides creating transparency into operations also enable process optimization and business model innovation.

What?

The Digital Twin Assessment benchmarks your Digital Twin solutions and activities against industry standards and best practices, e.g. the Capability Periodic Table of the Digital Twin Consortium or the Industrial Internet Security Framework of the Industrial IoT Association.

A Digital Twin Strategy describes your vision of Digital Twins and uses a DT Maturity Model to plan a roadmap from where you are to where you want to go. It also covers topics like changes to your current operating model, digital landscape and solution development processes.

The Digital Twin Architecture describes the execution of your Digital Twin Strategy and is therefore often created in a project covering both, strategy and architecture. The architecture describes the future digital landscape required to implement business use cases that use Digital Twins for implementing an end-to-end solution.

How?

  • We use standards and industry best practices to shape our work. This ensures interoperability as well as the availability of enough skilled resources for implementation.
  • We also use reference frameworks, architectures and models to maximize re-use of existing open-source IP, accelerating development for project deliverables, while improving quality.
  • In all our engagement we use GenAI and AI Agents to augment our consultants. This improves the productivity but also provides more relevant insights and functions as a QA mechanism.
  • From a way of working perspective, we prefer a mix of Design Thinking and Agile/Scrum for project delivery.
