Where Can You Use Digital Twins Technology? Everywhere.

No matter your industry, digital twins technology can help you drive new innovations.

Manufacturing

Want to optimize your end-to-end supply chain, operations, quality management, or custom production? With digital twins technology you can test several solutions before products are created, ensuring processes are at max efficiency. It can help you minimize the impact of disruption while determining the best secondary source of supply.

Retail

Digital twin technology is helping retailers monitor shopping behavior to make better predictions. From supply chain to self-check-out models, digital twin can help you forecast more efficiently to optimize business hours and worker head count. With digital twins technology, you can make more strategic decisions. 

Engineering and Construction

Looking to build bigger? Digital twins are the new way to create a prototype. Game engines include real-world physics allowing you to build a virtual building or structure prototype for investors and you can even pass it along to construction. You even use digital twins technology to customize your product, helping your customers themselves in your solution.

Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT sensors give greater visibility into the entire product lifecycle. Instead of having to make assumptions on how a user would engage with a product, you can use IoT data and feed it into a game engine. Now you can continuously refine the product so your customers can spend less time and money fixing the product later.

Automotive

Automotive companies are developing the cars of the future with digital twins technology. Now you and your team can build all kinds of prototypes without the added expense. CAD tools that were static and did not offer highly dynamic views are now transformed with real-time rendering. Crash tests can be simulated, and physics altered to learn how a car will perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are digital twins?

Digital twins are virtual representations of physical objects. They collect real-time data through sensors to monitor how these objects – from cars to supply chain components – behave and operate. From there, the digital twin can make predictions about these objects throughout their entire lifecycle.  

What tools do teams need for digital twin development?

Digital twin builder from Ansys and AWS, as well as the Azure digital twin tool, are some of the most popular options to drive digital twin development. Game engines, like Unreal Engine and Unity, also regularly rank among the best digital twin software. A version control tool like Helix Core is also typically needed as part of digital twin construction, as it can store the large, complex files involved in digital twin smart manufacturing.  

What industries involve digital twin product design?

From use of the digital twin in healthcare to digital twin automotive design, the digital twin smart factory approach is revolutionizing a wide range of industries. Digital twin semiconductor technology is powering everyday objects like refrigerators and smartphones, along with large-scale biomedical innovations and digital twin in aerospace projects. The digital twin in retail is also increasingly common, as virtual shopping options expand. Digital twins in manufacturing are speeding up supply chains and offering increasing levels of automation.  

What are some recent examples of projects that used digital twin software?

In the digital twin automotive industry, industry leaders like Ford, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and others have started using manufacturing digital twins. Digital twin architecture examples are also becoming more common, with the technology recently being used for a SoFi stadium project. Digital twin healthcare examples include organizations like Cleveland Clinic using digital twins to make public health recommendations.  

What are the benefits and challenges of digital twin building?

Technology like Azure digital twins and other digital twin IoT tools can help reduce the cost, risks, and maintenance associated with a project. They’re also key for planning large, complex projects with many variables. However, digital twin technology can also introduce new IP security concerns and file storage concerns, requiring a strong version control foundation like Helix Core.
