More Sustainable Supply Chains with Data and Digital Twins (Januar 2025)

Beschreibung

Sprache der Veranstaltung: Englisch

In the rapidly evolving landscape of sustainable supply chains, the integration of data and digital twins have emerged as a transformative way for enhancing efficiency and resilience. Digital twins, digital replicas of physical assets, systems, or processes, enable real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of supply chain operations.

The presentation explores the application of digital twin technology in supply chain management, highlighting its potential to streamline logistics, and enhance decision-making processes – with a special focus on Product Carbon Footprint and Circular Economy.

Case studies from various industries, e.g. Catena-X, illustrate the tangible benefits of adopting data and digital twins. The findings suggest that digital twin data not only provide a competitive edge but also pave the way for the next generation of sustainable supply chains.

Kai Lindow and Fraunhofer IPK:

Dr. Kai Lindow from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK) will give the presentation and will be available to answer questions. The Fraunhofer IPK offers system solutions, individual technologies and services for digitally integrated production and beyond for the entire product life cycle. Dr. Kai Lindow is head of the Digital Engineering division at Fraunhofer IPK. He has been working on sustainability and digital twins for more than 10 years. He is also a member of the Sustainability Committee of Catena-X (data ecosystem for the automotive industry) and is currently active in the Aerospace-X project (digitalization of the supply chain in the aviation industry).
