Implementation of a digital twin will require expertise beyond that of the process modeling: specialists in on-line analytics and sensor technology, ICT, programming, optimization, statistics and artificial intelligence need to work togetherwith the industrial production experts (including modelers but, operators, management, supply chain that will potentially use the IoT apps). Adding on the employees will increase fixed costs – How will Chemical Industry solve (or mitigate) that negative equation?
Do we need a comprehensive method describinghow to perform reliable technoeconomic analysis of the profitability of the digital mature plants and digital twin technology?
Digital Twins: The Next Phase of the AI Revolution? Can we create future digital twins without AI? Augmented reality and Digital twins – Is that the way to proceed?
Computer models based on digital twins could be very complex and demanding. Who will develop that technology?
Big data management and Big data analytics – is the future for the Chemical Industry to rely on IoT service providers likeAmazon, Google, Microsoft, GE, Siemens and so on? (that would be paradigm shift- almost everything else is in-house assets). Is it a new business model necessary to implement?
Again.. If we can push digital maturity in the chemical industry; why don´t we?
