Digital twins are a transformative technology helping organizations develop more operationally efficient, accessible, and sustainable solutions across all vertical industries.
In the Reflections Blog, digital twin experts are writing about innovations, best practices, use cases, events, publications, initiatives, and breakthroughs in the digital engineering space. The blog encompasses the primary areas and disciplines across the digital engineering ecosystem, including model-based system engineering, digital thread, and related strategies.
Infrastructure and operations leaders with a stake in their organization's global operations, product development, and supply chains will benefit from following the blog. The opinions of the authors are theirs, and not necessarily those of the consortium.
