The technology behind digital design “ In digital manufacturing , digital twins – which are virtual representations in software of products or processes – are created by using digital design as one of its inputs ,” explains Nowoswiat . “ This is critical to manufacturers , as digital twins allow proposed changes in the product or process to be tested and optimised before they are implemented . Digital twinning is not a singular event , but an on-going process to collect more data from multiple sources to further improve the virtual model . This results in continuous improvement in both quality and productivity .”
As this concept evolves , Nowoswiat is seeing technology such as private 4G / 5G metoworking , cloud computing , AR / VR , and machine learning being implemented as manufacturers digitalise their operations on the journey to Industry 4.0 . “ In particular , industrial grade private wireless solutions
