Industry 4.0 has reshaped the manufacturing landscape by making it more data-driven, automated, flexible, and customer-centric. It’s not just about technology; it’s a change that affects how manufacturers operate, collaborate and compete in a rapidly changing global market. The 3D digital twin is closely aligned with the principles of Industry 4.0, acting as a key

As the world goes digital, manufacturers are constantly looking for innovative solutions to improve productivity and support the green transition. Digital twins are one of the key technologies that have been identified as a solution to these challenges. In fact, more than half (57%) of organisations believe that digital twin technology is essential to improving

The green transition is a process of transforming economies and societies towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The aim of the green transition is to reduce the negative impacts of human activities on nature and the climate, while ensuring social and economic well-being. Key aspects of the green transition include: A digital twin is

Digital twins are virtual copies of physical objects or processes, brought to life by advanced modelling and simulation techniques. They allow manufacturers to create a virtual environment that simulates the real world, offering many benefits throughout the production, machinery and end-product lifecycle. In this article, we explore eight key benefits of why digital twins have

OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is an industrial automation and data transfer standard that enables communication between devices, software, and systems from different manufacturers. This architecture, developed by the OPC Foundation in 2008, is based on the previous OPC standard (OLE for Process Control), but designed to be more flexible, secure and widely
