I remember when I first got my smartphone. It was exciting to have this powerful little device that could keep me connected 24/7, but it also presented a new challenge: How do I efficiently use the available technology? Having a phone in your pocket is great, but how do you make sure it's more than just a distraction? In the same way that using smartphones has changed how we interact with our devices, we need to change how we use digital twins as well. The world of manufacturing and manufacturing operations management (MOM) has been transformed by the introduction of digital twins - and there is still so much potential left untapped. Digital twin data isn't just there for us engineers anymore; it's used by CEOs and delivery drivers alike. And since anyone can access digital twin data now - not just engineers who understand where all those buttons are on their computers - it's important that everyone understands why accessibility matters in an increasingly interconnected world economy where being able to communicate quickly and effectively can mean success or failure for your business

You may not have noticed, but the way we use smartphones has changed drastically in the last few years. While they were originally used primarily for phone calls and texting, today they are used for email, social media, games, and more. The average person checks their phone 150 times per day and spends 2 hours per day on it - more than a full-time job!

The last time I checked my phone was just after 8 am as I sat down at my desk to work on this article about digital twin accessibility. When I looked up from my computer screen there was an alert that my “phone” had received an email (it is actually an iPad). It was from a coworker asking me if I would like to go out for lunch with him at noon. That’s when I realized something: he didn’t know that it wasn’t actually me sitting at my desk and working!

Making digital twin data accessible to everyone is a challenge, but also an opportunity to make it more efficient.

‍

Digital twins are a new way of looking at data. They're not just a fancy name for 3D models like you might have seen in architecture school - they're a way of making your data more accessible and useful. It isn't just about making your company's building look pretty; with the right technology and analytics in place, you can use your digital twin as an information hub that will help people work together better, increase productivity and improve decision-making processes throughout the organization. By giving employees access to this information when they need it most (and not when they don't), companies can save time and money while improving customer satisfaction across multiple channels.

‍

Great. Now that you have a digital twin, it's time to start making sure your data is available for the right people at the right time and place. Accessibility is critical for all kinds of data but especially for digital twins because they're supposed to be so much more than just static images or PDFs on a server somewhere: they're supposed to represent a live system, with all its moving parts and changing states. That means it's important that everyone who needs access can get it quickly and easily - and at no additional cost!

Digital twins are used by a variety of professionals, from CEOs and engineers to maintenance workers and delivery drivers. However, the majority of these people do not have access to their digital twin because it is located in a remote data center that requires special security clearance. This means that users must be physically present at this location to use their digital twin.

‍

The problem with this arrangement is that you may need to access your digital twin at any given moment of the day or night - but how can you if you cannot get there? When someone needs access to their digital twin while they are away on vacation or business trip, they should not have to worry about missing out on important information or making crucial decisions because they cannot get into their system when needed most!

Your data might not be where you need it when you need it.

‍

When was the last time you had to wait for someone from IT to get back to you with a report? When was the last time your team worked on a project without access to critical information about their processes? These situations can lead to lost productivity and frustration for employees, but they don’t have to happen anymore. Digital twins allow users in every department across an organization easy access to relevant data, helping them stay on top of their work and increasing overall efficiency.

‍

You probably already use notifications in your everyday life - for example, when someone sends you an email or texts asking if they can meet up after work. Just like those notifications are helpful reminders that make sure nothing slips through the cracks during normal life, digital twin notifications enable companies (and individuals) alike keep track of important events happening in industrial settings as well as ones involving health care facilities or banking services.

‍

Notifications can help you avoid problems.

‍

You might think that notifications are just a way to get in the way of your productivity, but they can actually be used to prevent mistakes and missed opportunities. For example, if a shipment is delayed or held up in customs, it's good practice to notify clients so they can prepare for the delay themselves. Notifications can also be used as an automated alert system that tells you when something needs attention immediately."

‍

For example: "Our digital twin is able to identify any potential issues before they become actual issues," says Smith Manager of Information Technology (IT), "so we're able to react just-in-time instead of waiting until there's an issue."

‍

Digital twins are used in a variety of ways, from the development and implementation of new products to the design and optimization of existing products. They also allow organizations to better understand their supply chain, operations and maintenance processes.

‍

Digital twins can be combined with other data sources (such as physical location data) or used alone to provide you with insights that will supercharge your business' efficiency. It's worth noting that digital twin data is used by a variety of professionals, from CEOs and engineers to maintenance workers and delivery drivers.

‍

You're not alone - and neither are your employees or customers! Your digital twin data may be accessed by people in different places around the world with different roles: maybe someone at headquarters needs access because they have experience with other companies' successes and failures; maybe someone on another continent needs temporary access because they're there at a factory inspection; maybe even one of your customers wants some information while they're researching a purchase decision.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our look at some of the ways in which digital twins are shaping the future of business. We believe that these advances will make businesses more efficient and more competitive, but they also have a lot to offer consumers. Whether you’re interested in using digital twins in your own life or just want to be part of the movement as it grows, there are many exciting possibilities ahead!
