TECHNOLOGY & AI
In manufacturing , problem solving is a top skill , but identifying a problem before it hits is an even greater talent . A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical process throughout its anticipated lifecycle , in order to identify potential future issues . This concept was first hatched by Dr Michael Grieves , a researcher at the University of Michigan , in 2002 .
Two decades later , digital twins play a vital role in constructing smart cities , building tools for aerospace and manufacturing equipment . By leveraging digital twins , manufacturers can quickly spot problems , enhance efficiency , reduce costs and advance electric vehicle technology .
