Mastering Digital Twins Technical Developer

E-learning Course

From Technology to Practical Application – Developing and Integrating Digital Twins

The »Digital Twins Technical Developer« course combines in-depth technological knowledge with practical implementation skills. It is hands-on and directly applicable to real-world scenarios. The course focuses on developing digital twin solutions that precisely meet business requirements.

Implementing digital twins from a technical standpoint requires more than just individual solutions: It calls for a comprehensive understanding of simulation, automation and digital factories.

This course delves into the core areas of digital twins and provides a concrete understanding of their implementation. Additionally, the course integrates analytical tools and artificial intelligence to identify patterns in large volumes of data, refine forecasts, and enhance the continuous improvement of digital twin functionality. Extended reality technologies make the gained data and insights accessible to decision-makers and operational teams through vivid visualization, intuitive interaction, and context-appropriate presentation.

The practical focus has an immediate impact. Participants learn how technological building blocks, ranging from infrastructure and services to data integration and user interfaces, fit together. This fosters a holistic understanding, enabling more precise decision-making, resilient processes, and efficient value creation.

The course provides a concise, practical foundation in the technological fundamentals of digital twins and prepares participants specifically for their implementation and long-term operation within an organization.
