The Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) has announced a “significant expansion” of its scope to include the development and execution of advanced digital engineering methodologies throughout the digital twin lifecycle
This progression builds upon the consortium’s expertise in digital twin methodology and enabling technology.
It expands the Digital Twin Consortium’s focus to cover the key domains and disciplines throughout the digital engineering ecosystem, including Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE), digital thread and related strategies.
By integrating advanced methodologies and leveraging industry-wide adoption of DTC’s existing frameworks and new work products in progress, the consortium is working to develop further and drive the adoption of leading practices for the digital engineering ecosystem.
‘Natural evolution’
Dan Isaacs, CTO and GM of the Digital Twin Consortium, said: “This expansion represents a natural evolution of our mission.
“By embracing a wider range of digital engineering practices, augmented where most beneficial by the infusion of AI including Multi-Agent GEN AI, DTC is well positioned to enhance the digital engineering ecosystem further and address the complex challenges facing the industry today.”
Improving integration, security and collaboration
Key benefits of this expanded focus include:
- Improved integration of digital twin technology through advancements in digital engineering practices.
- Strengthened security and trustworthiness, including AI-integrated approaches in digital engineering processes.
- Enhanced data strategies and frameworks for increased accessibility and traceability towards improved interoperability.
- Increased collaboration opportunities across various digital engineering disciplines.
“Through our member’s value-driven innovation, collaboration, and demonstrated thought leadership, DTC is committed to driving continuous growth and evolution across the digital engineering landscape,” added Isaacs.
“This expansion, coupled with the integration of AI technologies, positions DTC at the forefront of digital transformation efforts across industries.”
The Digital Twin Consortium brings together industry, academia and government expertise to drive the awareness, adoption, interoperability and development of digital twin technology.
Earlier this year, the DTC and the Smart Cities Council announced a major expansion of their global partnership.
