MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Digital Thread/Digital Twin

Description

The concept of a digital twin has gained significant attention in various industries, as it offers a virtual representation of a physical entity or system. However, not all digital twin models are created equal, and it is important to understand the characteristics of a good model. Current state models will need to be flexible to solve future problems, adaptable to simulate and predict potential future state scenarios and outcomes, and sustainable to ensure reusability for new problems that change with a variety of business conditions.

Topic: Developing DT/DT Standards that support Data interoperability & integration of data from different departments

The development of Digital Twin/Data Twin (DT/DT) standards enhance data interoperability and integration across various organizational departments. The proposed standards address the critical need for seamless data exchange and unified data representation, facilitating improved decision-making and operational efficiency. By establishing a common framework for data structures, communication protocols, and metadata standards, the DT/DT standards promote consistency, accuracy, and reliability of integrated data. This topic is a challenge that this audience needs to discuss. 

Learn from each other as we discuss:

• What specific challenges in data interoperability and integration are addressed by the current DT/DT standards?
• How do the DT/DT standards facilitate improved decision-making and operational efficiency within organizations?
• What are the key components of the common framework established by the DT/DT standards, particularly regarding data structures, communication protocols, and metadata standards?
• In what ways do the DT/DT standards ensure consistency, accuracy, and reliability of integrated data across different departments?
• How does the this highlight the importance of collaborative efforts in standardizing data practices for digital transformation and interoperability?
