Overview

This is a joint event hosted by IChemE's Process Management and Control Special Interest Group and the International Society of Automation (ISA).

Millions of decisions about the design, construction and operation of thousands of real-world assets will now be taken based on their digital replicas. The stakes are high, but so is the hype. You need confidence that your digital twin will give value and return on investment. You need certainty it will evolve alongside its physical sibling. You need your stakeholders on board. You need a plan.

DNV GL has introduced the oil and gas industry’s first assurance scheme for digital twins, covering inception, operation and evolution. Learn how they have combined 20 years of experience in qualifying thousands of pieces of hardware with in-depth data science expertise to help you answer three crucial questions:

  • Will my digital twin give me what I expect from it?
  • Can I trust the data and models that my twin runs on?
  • Is my organization ready to get the best out of a digital twin and evolve alongside it?

This webinar is aimed at people interested in or working on digital twins.
