LATEST TRENDS

Growing Use of Digital Twins Helps to Reduce Costs and Increase Supply Chain Efficiency in Manufacturing Industry Offering Growth Opportunities

Manufacturers are looking for systems that can anticipate potential errors and malfunctions to prevent further losses. These twins help engineers improve product performance by estimating the physical design of prototypes that change at each stage of the design process.

The digital twin helps manufacturers to simulate and monitor the asset or network to improve the system performance. It will boost the integration of digital twins in the manufacturing industry soon.

DRIVING FACTORS

Integration of Digital Twin Enhances the Product Lifecycle Management Process to Propel the Market Growth

Digital twin technology is central to developing Industry 4.0 initiatives, including automation, real-time data sharing, and intelligent manufacturing processes. Additionally, many end-user industries actively use digital twins for asset and product lifecycle management. It also helps to save operational costs and aims to reduce errors in the production line to optimize the production process using real-time information.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Structured Data Standards to Hinder the Market Growth 

The primary source of digital twin data is the data collected from many Internet of Things (IoT) signals. It requires several remote sensors that help to communicate over unreliable networks. Thus, it becomes difficult to collect standard and noise-free data for implementing digital twin among various industries such as manufacturing, energy, and automotive, among others.

Thus, the lack of availability of standard data may restrict the digital twin market growth among various industry verticals.
