Webinar - Challenges and Benefits of Implementing a Digital Twin in Composites Manufacturing

For most companies, the idea of a digital twin is purely theoretical. The path towards implementing, and more importantly, benefiting from a digital twin is not clear. This presentation will highlight practical challenges as well as real-world benefits of the digital twin. Though the implementation is not trivial, a digital twin offers newfound opportunities to leverage gathered data to both optimize programs and allow for continuous improvement. Examples of potential optimization include part analysis resulting from manufacturing conditions, closed-loop feed rate optimization factoring in feature-based controls and their effect on layup quality, and upstream traceability of root causes to downstream issues. Primary Topics: • What is a digital twin, and how is it used today? • Requirements to compile an effective virtual model • How to leverage the power of a digital twin to optimize your process
