4、cross industries are using digital twin technology to drive innovation in many areas of business,from product design to marketing.Digital twins are being used for prototyping,maintenance,collaboration,customer experience,and so much more.This white paper covers:Digital Twin vs.Digital ReplicaBefore
5、diving into how multiple industries are using this technology and how your team can get started,its important to understand the key differences between a digital replica and a digital twin.DIGITAL REPLICAA digital replica is a digital recreation of a real-world object or system.It typically refers t
6、o highly accurate representations rather than simplified models.One example of a digital replica is a 3D model of an office building,complete with electrical and plumbing systems.DIGITAL TWINA digital twin is much like a digital replica in that it is a digital model of a real-world object or system.
7、The key difference is that a digital twin incorporates simulated data or data that is continuously collected from its real-world counterpart,using that data to simulate the object or systems actions and performance in real-time.Digital twins are therefore more complete representations of the real ob
8、ject or system.They give teams insight into how various parts of the whole interact,or how the item interacts with other parts or Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.(1220CK21)Why Start Building Digital Twins?According to Researc
9、h and Markets,the global digital twin market size is expected to reach$63.5 billion by 2027,rising at a market growth of 41.7%CAGR(compound annual growth rate)during 2021-2027.This rapid growth is indicative of the technologys immense value to many industries.Digital twins can save your team time an
10、d money,as well as help you make better decisions.For example:General Electric used digital twin technology to identify a supply leak on a gas turbine and saved$9 million.It also used the technology to detect increased suction temperature on a centrifugal compressor,saving$3.2 million.CHEAPER PROTOT
11、YPING&BETTER TESTING Typically,errors with a design dont become known until the product has been prototyped.Digital twins,paired with advanced physics engines like the kinds found in game engines,allow your team to replicate complex testing scenarios.This allows you to predict and address issues bef
12、ore you create and test the physical prototype.DEVELOP FASTER&ACCELERATE TIME-TO-MARKETBeing able to create digital prototypes and run digital tests means new changes can be tested faster.The development process is therefore accelerated,and time-to-market is sped up.Your product can reach its consum
13、ers faster without compromising quality or safety.PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCEDigital twins give companies the opportunity to move to a predictive maintenance model that strikes a balance between corrective maintenance(I.e.,fixing a part once it is spent)and preventive maintenance(I.e.,fixing a part befor
14、e it fails and disrupts production).IoT devices collect data on your systems and feed them into your digital twin.Outliers,spikes in usage,or unexpected behaviors can be monitored.If a problem begins to develop for a component,teams will be aware of it before it has the chance to halt production or
15、before it becomes a hazard.BETTER DECISION MAKINGDigital twins allow your team to incorporate real-time data from sensors and the environment for better decision-making.Whirlpool Corporation,for example,uses data from its smart,connected products and a digital twin to test new concepts.Theyre able t
16、o use facts gathered from real products to base new ideas and decisions on.(Source:PGS Software) Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.(1220CK21) Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of th

18、e added expense.CAD models that were static and did not offer highly dynamic views are now being transformed with real-time rendering.Crash tests are simulated,and physics altered to learn how a car will perform on different terrain or in unique situations.They are also using game engines to train d
19、river assistance systems with synthetic sensor data.MANUFACTURINGManufacturers are using augmented reality(AR),virtual reality(VR),and mixed reality(MR)applications for training and maintenance.Through AR headsets,technicians can view the most up-to-date models of the machine laid over the one in fr
20、ont of them.This ensures they always have the right specs as they need them.Digital twins can enhance this process even more by overlaying real-time data and simulations.AEROSPACEBoeing has used digital twins to predict the performance of different components.They even achieved a 40%improvement rate
21、 in first-time quality,saving development time and money.They have also used IoT sensors to determine the ideal cargo load balance.ARCHITECTURE&CONSTRUCTIONArchitecture firm Foster+Partners used digital twin technology to oversee development on a site in London.They used a robot dog to collect data
22、around the site,which was fed into their digital twin of the building.The digital twin could then be used to compare the design to its built Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.(1220CK21)5 Things Your Team Must Do to Succeed in D
23、eveloping Digital TwinsTeams developing digital twins for the first time can make several mistakes:Storing data improperly.Trying to do too much too soon.Not testing enough.Integrating tools in their pipeline improperly or inefficiently.Not getting buy in from stakeholders throughout the process.The
24、 guidelines below will help your team be more successful with your first digital twin Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.(1220CK21)1.CREATE AND COMMUNICATE STANDARDSWhen working on digital twins and replicas,teams may use a vari
25、ety of tools for design and development.It is important to create standards across your project early so that you do not run into issues down the line.For example,decide how code changes should flow,how often to test,and how all components will work together.Then,communicate these standards out to t
26、he teams involved.Furthermore,at the most basic level,it is vital to have a naming convention for your data that can be easily understood by everyone on a team.It is significantly better to have tools that make asset storage,tracking,and versioning your data easier and more streamlined.2.STORE DATA
27、EFFICIENTLYDigital twins rely on data from the object they are emulating.They rely on it in the initial design of the digital twin itself,as well as in the twins continuous iterations.But when you are working with potentially multiple models of the digital twin and continuously updated data,you will
28、 be dealing with a huge mass of data.All this data needs to be stored efficiently and in such a way that each iteration is clearly labeled and identifiable.This means assets need to be versioned and tracked throughout Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of

30、y of these larger projects include interdependent systems.With any project,it is important to start small and scale.Breaking up your project into easily replicable components will allow you to build(and potentially reuse)as you go.Where possible,use automation to make processes as seamless as possib
31、le.For many teams,component-based development lends well to building digital twins because different teams can bring different aspects of the project together.You can split up your final design into reusable pieces,allowing you test components together and see how they can work in a variety of desig
32、ns.4.ITERATE AND TEST OFTENDigital twins and replicas rely on data,but not all data is the same.Human errors and duplications can throw off a model.If something feels off,it is important to look at the source data and iterate/test often.This goes back to storing and versioning both your data and pro
33、totypes the right way.5.COLLABORATE AND GET BUY IN EARLYIf you are a company looking to leverage this emerging technology,make sure you are collaborating with all stakeholders.The goals,capabilities,and limitations of your digital twins project must be clearly communicated early on in order to recei
34、ve buy-in and continued support throughout its development.All stakeholders need proper visibility into the project.They should also have the ability to collaborate on it within the projects tools,where the information Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property o
35、f their respective owners.(1220CK21)How to Start Building Digital Twins PLANNINGSolidifying a plan,or proposal,for your digital twin is likely your first step in securing buy-in from decision-makers.This is where you will determine what your first digital twin project will be.Planning will require y
36、ou to ask:Which processes or products could be understood better,or made more efficient,with a digital twin?What will be the function(s)of the digital twin?(Prototyping?Monitoring&maintenance?Automation?)What goal(s)would it support?Who will have access to which data?DESIGNDetermine the kinds of inf
37、ormation required across the lifecycle of the asset you are creating a digital twin of.How will this information be exchanged between systems?Revisiting the question of your digital twins function who will it ultimately be shared with?If your digital twin needs to be highly realistic for marketing o
38、r other purposes,you may want to implement a game engine(such as Epics Unreal Engine or Unity)that can handle advanced rendering.OPERATION&ITERATIONThis process tends to develop naturally.As you begin utilizing a digital twin,you will find more opportunities to collect and layer additional data.Agai
39、n,start small and scale.You might start with a digital replica and eventually start adding in real time data.Its important that your tools dont dictate your process and interfere with your ability to adjust the project to fit your teams needs.If your ultimate goal is to implement digital twin techno
40、logy to solve evolving business needs,it pays off to begin with a solid foundation of tools.You want tools that can handle increasingly more complicated Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.(1220CK21) Perforce Software,Inc.All tra

42、 a change must be made in a CAD design,it can be brought over seamlessly into the enhanced digital twin.This makes for faster developmentIOT/CONNECTED DEVICESIoT&connected devices and sensors supply continuous,real-time data from the real-world object that is emulated in the digital twin.Data collec
43、ted from the IoT devices is transferred via the internet or an edge server to the IoT platform,where it is organized based on the teams needs.GAME ENGINESBecause of their powerful rendering abilities and advanced physics engines,game engines like Unreal and Unity supercharge the capabilities of digi
44、tal twins.They make visualizations easier to understand by bringing them to life and enabling an emotional connection with the thing they Perforce Software,Inc.All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.(1220CK21)VERSION CONTROLWhen designing digital twins,v
45、ersion control becomes the foundation for your pipeline.All of the data collected and created in the digital twin process(and there is a lot of it)can be securely managed with the right tool.Being able to manage changes to files over time and store these modifications in a database allows you to cap
46、ture the true benefits of digital twin technology.For teams in heavily regulated industries,version control is critical for the audit process,as you need a complete history of all of the changes made to the digital twin project.Plus,the right version control tool protects your proprietary data.Some
47、version control systems require individual team members to download entire repos,giving them access to more information than they should have.Its better to opt for version control that allows you to lock down assets to the individual file(like Perforce Helix Core).Build Your Digital Twins Developmen
