Flying High With Digital Twin
We’ve been accustomed to the idea of a digital twin in the OEM and design worlds, so why not a digital twin for your manufacturing processes? The opportunity to use manufacturing simulation as a test bed for job planning and process optimization brings continuous improvement into the modern age. This may be an all-or-nothing type of project, but it’s worth the investment.
In the pages of this month's issue of SMT007 Magazine, we introduce our topic through an interview with Don Kinard, a senior fellow at Lockheed Martin, and one of their experts on utilizing the digital twin in the manufacturing space. If you haven’t crossed paths with Don, he’s been presenting occasionally at conferences on the different levels of digital twin in industry and is a recent recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Manufacturing Leadership Council.
