Digital twins bridge communication between product development, manufacturing & supply chains

Data-driven rendering of virtual and physical products, as well as more agile and ecosystem-focused execution of complex production processes, are made possible by digital twins. In the near future, CP organizations will invest in digital twins. IDC predicts that by 2024, half of manufacturers will have networked linked product and asset digital twins into digital twin ecosystems for a systems-level view of their business and a 5% reduction in quality expenses.
