“Digital transformations do not automatically improve control and visibility ”
— Mark Homer , VP Global Customer Transformation , ServiceMax
59 create environments in which machines can automatically analyse performance , warn of impending issues , identify existing or potential errors and even suggest part upgrades or changes to procedures to make them more efficient .
This is the digital twin idea . As a concept , it ’ s been around for a while ( NASA used it on early space missions ) but the emergence of IoT has made it a commercial reality . Digital twin eliminates guesswork from determining the best course of action to service critical physical assets , from engines to power turbines . Easy access to this combination of deep knowledge and intelligence about your assets paves the road to wider optimisation and business transformation .
Digital twin technology spans across all industries where the value is in assets and more generally complex systems . Its ability to deliver early warnings , predictions , and optimisation is fairly universal . In time , I think we ’ ll see the concept of a digital twin to be applied to human beings as well , playing a significant role in healthcare .
