Digital Twins in Supply Chain
Why do you need it ?
What can you do with it ?

October 5, 2023 – 13:30 > 19:00

Location: to be determinated

Need help to navigate in contemporary technological landscape? Is Digital Twin technology something you should consider as investment in the coming years? What is it about, and what is already up and running in the industry today?

For you, we bring together experts who implemented Digital Twin solutions for Supply Chain applications. They will illustrate the concept and the technology through realised cases, for us to get the picture of its advantages, prerequisites and challenges.

On the other side, is Digital Twin the only / the best answer to all the challenges ? What alternative technologies can help get similar advantages with lower investment? Where the Digital Twin really adds value?

Our seminar is intended to Heads of Supply Chain and Operations in search to learn more about emerging technology, for Big, Medium and Small enterprises. The effort will be made to avoid technical details and concentrate on "WIIFM" ("What's In It For Me").

Please come and join our seminar that will take place
on October 5, 2023.

Number of places is limited.
