Spotlight on autonomization: from digital twins to replicating reality

From virtual SIMULATIONS to real-world IMPLEMENTATIONS,  AUTONOMIZATION is fundamentally changing the world we live in. DIGITAL TWINS make it possible to model, test and optimize complex processes long before they become REALITY in the physical world. But that’s not all. The data and information acquired is fed straight back into AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS capable of operating and adapting independently. This turns digital twins into intelligent, adaptive REPLICAS of reality. In the articles in this edition, Steinbeis experts describe concrete projects that put this technological development into PRACTICE, show how enterprises can benefit from it, and discuss the associated RISKS.
