MODELS AND SIMULATION SUPPORT DIGITAL TWINS AND INDUSTRIAL IOT

摘要

The concepts of digital transformation and the Industrial IoT are driving major changes in industry. Yet engineers' understanding of concepts such as digital twins is still evolving, according to Philipp Wallner, industry manager for industrial automation and machinery at MathWorks. In an interview with EE-Evaluation Engineering, he discussed the Industrial IoT and cited as examples case studies involving BuildingIQ, a company that helps building owners and operators reduce their energy use, and Transpower, which transports New Zealand's bulk electricity from where it is generated to cities, towns, and some major industrial users.
