Digital Twin Consortium Signs Two Liaison Agreements: CESMII, AIOT

Liaison with CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute

The Digital Twin Consortium and CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute have entered into a liaison agreement to influence the creation and development of digital twin enabling frameworks and technologies. The goal is to accelerate the adoption and effective use of digital twins to create value. The digital twin is disrupting the entire product lifecycle management cycle, from design, to manufacturing to service and operations. Digital twins offer a great amount of business potential by predicting the future instead of analyzing the past of the manufacturing process.

Both have agreed to the following:

• Collaborating on standardization requirements
• Realizing interoperability by aligning technology components and other elements
• Aligning work in horizontal domains for adoption in vertical domains and use cases, proof of concepts
• Value Innovation Platforms (VIP) programs including:
• Technology, Terminology and Taxonomy
• Security and Trustworthiness
• Conceptual, Informational, Structural and Behavioral Models
• Enabling Technologies, such as simulation and AI
• Technology Stack across the Digital Twin Lifecycle
• Case Study development from initial concept through implementation and operational analysis
• Collaboration on open-source projects, contributions, and reference implementations

Liaison with AIoT User Group

The Digital Twin Consortium and AIoT User Group have entered into a liaison agreement to create and develop digital twin enabling technologies. The goal is to accelerate the adoption and monetization of digital twins.

Both have agreed to the following:

• Aligning work in Digital Twin Consortium horizontal domains for adoption within vertical environments and use cases, proof of concepts, and programs
• Making AI and IoT best practices available for digital twin practitioners through frameworks and trainings
• Creation of open-source reference implementations and solution blueprints
• Realizing interoperability by harmonizing technology components and other elements
• Collaborating on standards requirements

Digital Twin Consortium and AIoT User Group will exchange information through regular consultations, seminars, and more.
