Mastering Digital Twins

E-learning Program

Modular Online Program: Digital Twin

A digital twin is a representation of reality: It can map and digitize not only the geometric appearance and structure but also the behavior of products or systems. It blends reality and the virtual world, creates transparency in complex technical and operational processes and is an indispensable tool for the development and operation of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Digital twins can support companies throughout their entire value chain by providing data-driven decision-making foundations.

Companies must learn to adapt digital twins to their specific value creation realities and shape their capabilities accordingly. The technology makes it possible to monitor, analyze, visualize, simulate, interact with, and integrate products and systems throughout their entire lifecycle.

The modular online program »Mastering Digital Twins« delivers in-depth knowledge across three courses covering all phases of the lifecycle (concept, design, development, operation, and end-of-life) and a clear understanding of the business potential of digital twins in various industrial scenarios. The courses are standalone. Learners may select them freely as needed.

The content ranges from strategic issues and business potential to architecture and design all the way to technical implementation and practical application.

Upon successful completion of the MDT training program, participants will be able to:

  • Master digital twins, from strategic design to technical implementation.
  • Learn how to leverage digital twins to give your organization a competitive advantage.
  • Understand the value of digital twins for your organization.
