Traditionally there have been certain aspects of an environment we just can’t replicate. Whether this is due to cost, complexity or the physical-digital crossover it has created a complexity that prevents us from being able to test new deployments in a true replica of production. Digital twins can help us overcome this.

The concept of the digital twin was introduced to create a digital representation of a physical object. The goal of this being to allow for simulated inputs and outputs which represent the interactions we have with the physical world. This is applied today in robotics, laboratories and other technology spaces where duplicating devices is cost-prohibitive. We don’t have to limit ourselves to just those high-tech, high-cost devices, we can create digital twins of an entire data center, factory or other environment.

This session will introduce you to the benefits of digital twins across industries and how we can take advantage of this emerging technology. Specific concepts we will explore include:
• What are digital twins and how do they work
• Current applications of digital twins
• Conceptualizing a digital twin in your environment
• Design considerations for digital twins
• Integrating digital twins with augmented reality
