A digital twin is a virtual replica of a product, system, or process. Geopolitical tensions arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, trade disputes, wars between countries, and other factors have prompted automakers and their suppliers to employ digital technologies to minimize operational disruptions, reduce costs and resource utilization, remove geographical constraints, optimize performance, and enhance product offerings.
Digital twinning now has a role in product design, supply chain modeling, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales services. The technology has become even more relevant to the automotive industry with the emergence of connected, autonomous, shared, and electric vehicles that generate vast amounts of data. Services for the automotive industry are in the emerging phase as clients and potential customers continue to explore the technique’s diverse benefits. Digital twinning is the common underlying concept but its application across the different areas of the automotive value chain varies widely and demands diverse expertise.
