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

A virtual twin starts with designing a 3D model that represents the shape, dimensions and properties of a physical product or system. Simulations are run on that virtual model to explore how the product will behave when assembled, operated or subjected to a range of events. 

Virtual twins let you visualize, model and simulate entire environments. The goal is to facilitate sustainable business innovation across the full product lifecycle. Testing help optimize and validate the design, materials and production processes. Because it is all done virtually, it makes the entire lifecycle more sustainable. 

In this webinar, presenters from Dassault Systèmes will define virtual twins, the virtual twin experience, and how they differ from digital twins. They will showcase virtual twins for modeling & simulation, science & data, and collaboration and demonstrate how end-users are leveraging virtual twin experiences in real-life in four industries:  

Aerospace & Defense, 
Industrial Equipment,  
Life Sciences, and  
Transportation & Mobility.

Who Should Attend: 

Business executives and technology professionals who are investing in digital twins and 3D modeling or are considering investing in the technologies. 

IT and IoT professionals across industrial and life sciences vertical market. 

Digital twin and 3D modeling practitioners, and those interested in becoming

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.

Measure Scope 3 Carbon Emissions with Digital Twins

Digital twins have the potential to revolutionize how we approach tasks, from managing stock in a warehouse to designing and maintaining a fleet of aircraft. But to realize this transformative value, digital twin systems need to be designed and architected with best practices for scalability, interoperability, and composability.  

In this webinar, Dr. David McKee will walk through these best practices by breaking down the steps that are described in the DTC’s new white paper “Platform Stack Architectural Framework: An Introductory Guide.”  

 Dr. McKee will explore multiple use cases and worked examples of how the framework is already being applied. This will include a Net Zero Smart City example, in which he guides us through the entire process, from capability selection, through to technology selection, and finally implementation. 

Who should attend: 

The webinar provides a starting point for system architects to facilitate best practices. The best practices concepts are also ideal for C-Suite and business leaders, or anyone who is new to digital twin technology and needs a foundational understanding of architectures before diving into technology selection or development.  

The webinar will provide: 

* An outline of the central concepts and common framework elements of a digital twin system.  

* A look at the elements that take a solution from being a great model or simulation to qualifying as a digital twin. 

* A reference architecture template, including foundational building blocks. 

* A review of commonly adopted technological approaches and standards and real-world use cases.

Digital Twin Platform Stack Architectural Framework

Systems Modeling Language™ v2 (SysML® v2), whose beta version was just adopted by our Board of Directors and is currently in its finalization phase, will enable modeling of increasingly complex systems as part of the evolving practice of model-based systems engineering, and provide improved precision, expressiveness, consistency, usability, interoperability, and extensibility over SysML v1.

The collection of SysML v2 specifications were submitted to the OMG Board of Directors for approval as beta specifications and have entered their finalization phase. The SysML v2 submission concluded five years of development with representation from over 80 organizations, resulting in three specifications and an open-source pilot implementation to validate them. It is anticipated that the final adopted specifications will be approved by the OMG in 2024 and that some of the tool vendors will have commercial SysML v2 implementations available at that time.

This webinar includes two parts presented by the co-leaders of the SysML v2 Submission Team. The first part includes an overview of SysML v2 capabilities and a comparison of SysML v2 with SysML v1, while the second part addresses some of the key language design decisions that led to the current specifications and the rationale for those decisions.
