How to Leverage the Virtual Twin Experience in Real-life; With Industry Examples

In order to identify strategies for bringing carbon emissions under control, one of the first steps we need to take as a technology community is to measure the actual emissions. Emissions caused by Scope 1 (fossil fuel burning) and Scope 2 (electricity consumed during production) are relatively easy to measure. 
 
Unfortunately, measuring Scope 3 emissions has presented a major challenge. Scope 3 emissions are important because they make up 80% of all carbon output during the manufacturing process. Produced across the supply chain and distribution network, Scope 3 emissions include carbon generated by logistics, raw material, the carbon footprint of parts used, and so on. 
 
In this webinar, Eric Barnstedt, OPC Foundation, and Achalesh Pandey, GE Digital, will explain how digital twins are being leveraged to provide clear insights into the carbon footprint across an organization’s entire manufacturing supply chain. This includes a breakthrough way to measure, track, and report on Scope 3.

Composing Intelligent Transportation Hubs

Global climate change is upon us and we need to make adjustments, not when it is convenient to do so, but right away. This will require a deployment that is different than business as usual. In truth, it will require an approach that moves forward at Internet speed as opposed to traditional speed. Such a program is regarded by most as very large and complex.

Curiously, the advice of Albert Einstein may be very useful here:
“When seeking to tackle a really complex problem…
Just look to see how analogous things occur in nature…
This will tend to really simplify things for you.”

This keynote will explore what the natural pattern for high speed deployment might look like when using fractal patterns for microgrids. You’ll discover the strategy of using Digital Twins in the process as a way of mass customization planning and design simulation, continuous integration and certification, massively parallel construction, and iterative operation with real-time feedback, such that the nodes can be implemented in any sequence, but begin to operate as a Team of Teams when they begin to discover each other.
