Tuesday 4 June 2019 - Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham B5 7QU

Welcome to Digital Twins

A digital twin integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning and software analytics with data to create living digital simulation models that update and change alongside their real-life counterparts.

A range of digital twins of different infrastructure assets and systems can be joined together in a secure and resilient way, enabling a wide range of data sources to be more effectively input into modelling infrastructure. 

Digital Twins offer new opportunities to improve the life-time efficiency of assets and systems,  enabling flexibility in design and  up-front risk minimisation, through techniques such as predictive analytics.
