Madison White explores how digital transformation in the transportation industry is being combined with automotive digital twins to produce the next generation of autonomous vehicles. She looks at the challenges facing production-scale deployment of digital twins, including digital twin accuracy, connectivity, data accuracy, interoperability/standardization, and trust/security. She concludes with the cost benefits of developing a vehicle using digital twins, including predicting maintenance, and thus lowering cost of ownership during the lifetime of a vehicle, and cleaner air.
Chloé Audigier and Dileep Mangsuli explore digital twins in the medical domain, specifically regarding modeling humans and their care. They explore the complexity of data related to various organs and scenarios, especially how models must be based on the behavior of many people yet personalized to a specific person. Medical digital twins can help predict therapeutic outcomes and how an individual will react to a particular approach. This is a promising field with endless applications and possibilities.
Sameer Kher starts us off with a discussion on the important topic of simulations. Simulations have been used for years in modeling and design. More recently, they have become a core aspect of digital twins, simulating outcomes during design phases and in using real data during operations. Kher describes the phases associated with applying simulation in digital twins as well as use of simulation in areas such as predictive maintenance. He concludes with describing how you build, validate, and deploy a simulated digital twin.
It takes a village and ecosystem to provide all the capabilities found in digital twins. To highlight this challenge, the articles in this issue of CBTJ bring to life the various aspects of digital twins uses and applicability.
This edition of The Cutter Edge discusses why it's critical for business leaders to understand that success depends more on how they develop people than how they deploy technology; the patterns and techniques that are useful for keeping digital and data architectures open to changes, and more!
This Advisor outlines how using a target operating model working hypothesis may help C-suite executives understand how adopting Agile can impact them and their organization. The working hypothesis develops incrementally as the activity progresses. The author also suggests how to plan a transformation based upon outcomes, 90-day horizons and themes, and offers an Agile sundial as a means of setting direction and illustrating progress.
In a recent webinar, Andreas Schlosser, Alan Martinovich, and Philipp Seidel examined the state of the automotive industry and what it might look like after the pandemic. They urged industry players — manufacturers, dealers, distributors, OEMs, and the full supply chain — to make bold decisions right now to be ready for a “new normal.” In this Advisor, we share some of the answers to questions participants asked about the actions carmakers should take now to set themselves up to win in the post-corona era.
In Part I of this three-part Executive Update series, we look at the myriad ways that data can operate in your organization. In Part II, we will take the concept further and examine the four dimensions of information superiority in greater detail. Finally, Part III will show how all this impacts building an effective roadmap toward creating a data-driven business.
