DigitalTwin

Depends on the use case - but of course the respective process owner (e.g. production line manager) as well as (if existing) the CDO should be sponsoring the initiative

I see it the same way, there are already a lot of organizations which have dedicated CDO's

So the business leading this effort as against IT is a recommended approach?

Very often we find in client situations that there is no interlink between business and IT (like e.g. Business-IT-Relationship-layer) or no interlink between IT & OT - this is required - and can be started with a Proof of Value

Yes, business needs to lead - and IT needs to start understanding more business. The convergence of IT and OT is one of the most important topics for any CIO

it always should be a joint approach. only when business and IT is aligned you will have success

What are some of early stage use cases organizations can test for proof of value and early wins?

Are there quick start techniques / tools one can start with?

A usually quite easy use case in e.g. shop floor optimization is evaluating and optimizing OEE in a selected subset of equipment.

Techniques are way more important than technologies (as the latter are just there). It's about finding out where to start by bringing together the data scientists with the technologists and the business process owners

thanks

@KaiUHess Thanks!

Thank you for organizing, Harsha - we're looking forward to the next sessions

And of course a real big THANKS to the team that helped to prepare!!!

I agree, Jerry - but the expertise is growing, including leveraging e.g. machine learning to create such interfaces

I second that. And readily be able to access those ideas as required. A couple of additional pair of hands wont be bad either :)

And it's coming - the first AI based virtual assistants are available (in pretty early maturity....but still....)

Can my digital twin do my work and i reap the benefit ;)

If it's your digital twin you actually will reap the benefit - if it's not your IP it might be a bit more difficult....

In most projects we leverage six sigma to understand the impact before we finally select the initial Use Case. Understanding impact and risk helps to involve the right people and of course reduces the threat of failure by being able to focus
