As discussed in the previous Blog, the Digital Process Twin is what we are creating in the MRO environment and to do this we need to understand how all the key pillars of MRO interact with one another to help define and monitor the process.
In this Blog I want to establish what is meant by the term ‘digital twin’ and how it applies to the MRO environment. The term can lead to confusion since there are many examples of digital twins which mirror multiple kinds of real-world objects.
I start by highlighting the missing element of many IoT implementations: the context of asset location and movement. Having highlighted the value of that additional context, I will apply that to MRO operations to understand the benefits in planning, the ability to react to issues, and consequently reduced turnaround time.
