In preparation for industry 4.0 - the fourth industrial revolution, Manchester Met’s Faculty of Science and Engineering is developing its overarching academic vision to grow research in quantity and quality, to transform the delivery and shape of its education portfolio and to build partnerships.
At the forefront of this journey is our development of a Digital Twin, a smart electronic duplicate of our new state-of-the-art facilities which are currently under construction and set to open in 2024. Our Digital Twin enables Researchers to test and simulate changes to the Dalton building’s infrastructure and systems to determine how they and the occupying workforce will be affected.
Digital Twins technology is an area of growth for companies across a host of industries. It is poised to become the perfect partner for metaverse, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, blockchains and the internet of things to integrate physical and digital worlds with real-time interaction.
This talk takes digital twin out of the abstract and highlight its real-world use cases. It showcases digital twin capabilities to strengthen cybersecurity and the resilience of critical national infrastructures with digital twins.
