Episode 130: [Value Boost] The Digital Twin Blueprint

Building a digital twin without a clear objective is like showing up at a construction site without a blueprint. You might produce something, but it's unlikely to be structurally sound, and it will certainly cost more than it should. In this Value Boost episode, Dr Greg Biegel joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to share a practical framework for mapping a physical system to its digital representation - one of the first and most critical steps in building a digital twin. You'll discover: The three things to write down before you build anything [01:45] How to decide which parts of a physical system to model and which to ignore [03:27] The four types of models that make up a digital twin [04:00] How to work backwards from a decision to the data and models you actually need [05:25] Guest Bio Dr Greg Biegel is the author of Digital Twins in Action and has been working as a researcher, software developer, architect and product manager across academia, startups and large enterprises for the past 26 years. He currently works as a Solution Architect with Amazon Web Services.

Building a digital twin without a clear objective is like showing up at a construction site without a blueprint. You might produce something, but it's unlikely to be structurally sound, and it will certainly cost more than it should.

In this Value Boost episode, Dr Greg Biegel joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to share a practical framework for mapping a physical system to its digital representation - one of the first and most critical steps in building a digital twin.

You'll discover:

  1. The three things to write down before you build anything [01:45]
  2. How to decide which parts of a physical system to model and which to ignore [03:27]
  3. The four types of models that make up a digital twin [04:00]
  4. How to work backwards from a decision to the data and models you actually need [05:25]
