Certification Program Mastering Digital Twins

Certification Course in Digital Twins

 

A Digital Twin represents reality: It can visualize not only the geometric appearance and structure, but also the behavior of products or systems. It merges reality and virtuality, creates transparency within complex engineering and operational processes, and is an indispensable tool for the development and operation of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Digital Twins can support companies throughout their entire value chain by providing clarity through digital data.

Companies need to start learning how to adapt Digital Twins to their value creation realities and design their capabilities accordingly. The technology enables intelligent products and systems to be observed, analyzed, visualized, simulated, interacted with, and integrated throughout their lifecycle.

Our modular online program “Mastering Digital Twins” will provide you with in-depth knowledge of all lifecycle phases (ideation, design, development, operations, and end-of-life) and a clear understanding of their business potential in different industry scenarios.

We currently offer the Digital Twins Business Consultant track. The Digital Twins Solutions Architect and Digital Twins Technical Developer courses will be offered soon.
