Digital twinning and manufacturing: improving productivity and efficiency and reducing waste

This event has now ended. You can rewatch the webinar below, or visit our YouTube channel for all other webinars.

There has been much hype around digital twinning in recent years but key to integrating this transformative technology into your business is truly understanding how it works and the benefits that it can bring.

Providing real time visibility across operations, digital twins are accurate models of any business asset, whether people, places, and processes or things –providing readable and actionable access to all data and controls.

During this webinar, hosted by the NMIS Digital Manufacturing Team, we’ll explain what is required to create a secure, scalable and adaptable digital ecosystem and describe the work we have undertaken in pursuit of our goal of developing a fully functional cyber physical system.

Learning how deploying a digital twin can significantly improve your productivity and efficiency while reducing waste, you will also discover more about the recently completed digital twin cask filling project in collaboration with Diageo, Siemens and Kigtek, which could save Scotland’s whisky industry millions of pounds each year in inventory costs.

Cutting across all manufacturing sectors including food and drink, aerospace, automotive, marine, textiles and agriculture, this webinar will appeal to engineers, researchers, managers and innovators alike.

Working within our digital manufacturing team, Richard develops connectivity solutions for manufacturing machines and processes to support cyber physical systems, and is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult digital manufacturing technology group developing the technology and strategic roadmaps to support UK Industry.

Before working at the AFRC, Richard spent nearly 10 years in a senior manufacturing engineering role for Spirit AeroSystems Europe where he was responsible for the qualification and industrialisation of automated manufacturing systems of large aero structure assemblies.
