    • Gradual implementation of digital twin

    Implementation follows an incremental approach in four phases. It starts with the digitization of physical assets by creating accurate 3D or schematic models. It continues with the installation of sensors needed for real-time data collection. The third phase involves creating the initial digital twin, calibrated on the collected real data. Finally, advanced features such as predictive simulation and optimization are developed. This approach allows distributing investments over time and validating benefits at each phase.

    Management and operational use

    Effective use of the digital twin requires a structured organization. The management team monitors synchronization between the physical and virtual world, ensuring the accuracy of simulations. Operators use the digital twin to test process changes before real implementation, reducing risks. Predictive maintenance is based on continuous comparison between expected and actual behavior. Staff training is accelerated by using the digital twin as a safe training environment. The system is continuously refined by incorporating new data and operational scenarios.
