This points to the “when”  question. What is the likely roadmap that will steer this evolution? Digital twins have been adopted, and finely tuned, by industry (over 15 years ago). Industry has set up a whole environment to host and in which leverage digital twins (the digital transformation has been …

A strong force in the consolidation of Personal Digital Twin (in the sense of digital model of a person) is coming from healthcare “in the large”. In the previous post in this series I have reported the Neurotwin, a digital representation of the electrical activity of a person’s brain and …

The construction sector is probably one of the less efficient sector, in productivity terms: constructions takes longer than planned, uses more resources… The Digital Transformation has not made a dent in this sector, with few, notable exceptions. ARUP, as an example, has shifted a good portion of its construction life …

Digital Twins role and use in Manufacturing is nothing new. Their application is growing steadily as the whole ecosystem expands: more supporting tools (platforms and specific applications), more data available (for modelling and shadowing) and more ways of leveraging on them (in the various product life cycle phases). Hence it …

Building construction is on an automation path: we have seen 3D printed houses, IoTs disseminated in new constructions (and retrofitted to existing ones) to support remote monitoring and operation and a growing number of constructions associated to Digital Twins from the design phase up to operations (watch the clip). Now …

In December last year (that was not a long time ago, was it?) I was asked to name one technology that I would expect to make an impact in 2022 and I chose Computational Photography. Yes, I know, there are several technologies that are fancier, starting with Quantum Computing that …

On December 9th, 2021, a flaw in a software library, Log4J, was discovered. This flaw was present, at that time, in over 100 million systems all over the world. On December 10th the  flaw was exploited by some hackers and within 3 days it had affected at least 830,000 systems. …

Innovation Operative is a consulting company focussing on the actual execution of “innovation”. They sit with their customers to explore, together, the challenges and opportunities a digital transformation and prepare and execution plan fitting the specific domain and the needs, aims, of an enterprise. Part of their way of working …

Executable Knowledge  Yesterday I had the pleasure of giving a keynote at the EIT Manufacturing 2021 Summit Event and I focussed on the trend towards executable knowledge in machines and its impact on the work and factory. Here’s the text of my talk. ======== Smarter Factories, Smarter People Over the …

3. Manufacturing Manufacturing has been evolving smoothly since the industrial revolution experiencing some leaps when first electrification was introduced, then computarization of tools and more recently computarization of the whole plant (RPA Robotic Process Automation, still under deployment). Additionally, we have seen leaps in processes first with the assembly line …
