Overview

Digital Twin assists you to visualise the asset, track changes, understand and optimise asset performance throughout the lifecycle of the product. It reduces time to market by designing and evaluating the manufacturing processes before manufacture. Commissioning time of a factory can be significantly reduced by developing and optimising the factory layout. Digital human models help to improve the safety of workplace environments. Digital twin enables predictive maintenance and data-driven root-cause analysis resulting in improved efficiency. The course aims to cover digital twin concepts and includes virtual commissioning and optimisation of a factory layout, ergonomics and validation of manufacturing concepts. Participants will design and develop digital twins to verify and optimise manufacturing processes and factory layouts in a 3D environment.
