Hi to all, I work in the food industry and, while I may be mistaken, I’ve noticed that digital twins are becoming an increasingly common topic of discussion. I don’t yet know what my company's plans are, but I wonder if there really is as much practical benefit to them as they seem at first glance.
The idea is that a virtual representation of machines and processes is created before anything comes to a standstill in actual production. I can already see how expensive it can be when production grinds to a halt due to errors. At the same time, being a chronic sceptic, I’m wondering whether this actually helps with day-to-day operations.
I’d therefore be interested in hearing about experiences and general opinions. Does anyone have any experience with this, or at least an opinion on the matter? If so, do you think digital twins are a step forward or more of a fad?
