Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
This in-depth course develops directly applicable capability in Digital Twins for Operational Performance. It connects Digital Twin Scope and Architecture, Data and Model Engineering, and Operational Use Cases to the decisions, controls, and activities participants need to perform in their workplace. The five-module curriculum progresses toward Twin Use-Case Design Lab, using evidence, scenarios, and work products appropriate to the subject.
Objectives
- Analyze digital twin scope and architecture, including asset, process, system, and enterprise twin boundaries.
- Configure or structure data and model engineering, including tag mapping, units, timestamps, quality flags, and contextualization.
- Evaluate operational use cases, including condition monitoring, optimization, capacity, energy, quality, and scenario testing.
- Manage lifecycle and value governance, including model ownership, configuration change, cybersecurity, and access.
- Apply twin use-case design lab, including define a decision-centered twin for an operational asset.
Target audience
- Professionals responsible for this subject area
- Managers, supervisors, and team leaders
- Analysts, specialists, engineers, or coordinators working with the relevant processes
- Project, implementation, assurance, or improvement team members
- Professionals preparing for broader responsibilities in this field
