Digital Twin Consortium is a global ecosystem of users driving best practices for digital twin usage and defining requirements for new digital twin standards

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.

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.
