Presentation Title: Digital Twins leverage AI to drive operational excellence
Presentation Abstract:
Digital Twins are a powerful tool in driving operational excellence by leveraging AI-driven, real-time insights and
simulations of business processes. A Digital Twin is a virtual model of the real-world environment, which, when
combined with an AI-backed engine, can analyze multiple signals within your business to ensure consistent execution,
optimal performance, and efficiency. While this solution has been primarily deployed in physical environments like
manufacturing, for it to thrive in non-physical environments—such as financial services and back-office functions—a
comprehensive model is required to connect the dots, uncover inefficiencies, redundancies, and hidden challenges. A
robust Process Inventory is the key to building this model.
