LIVE Roundtable: Breathing Life into Digital Twins

Time-stamped temperatures collected in the field, user heart rates accumulated in health-monitoring devices, acceleration data captured by smart vehicles—there’s a wealth of wisdom in sensor-captured data, but it’s also a double-edged sword.

They’re essential to the upkeep of digital twins that provide predictive analysis, which improves business profitability and customer experience. On the other hand, the deluge of streaming data, coming in by the second, could overwhelm and incapacitate the overseers.

In a LIVE Roundtable, DE editor Kenneth Wong moderates a panel of experts to discuss:

• Determining the right data, frequency, and amount to collect to prevent information overload;
• Linking sensor data to CAD models to create digital twins;
• Conducting system simulation with sensor data.
