Abstract
This talk is intended to highlight the role mechanical and aerospace engineers can play with strong domain knowledge and deep understanding of physics of systems as we usher into the ‘digital industrial’ era. There is a strong need in multiple eco-systems to drive improvements in system efficiency across all sectors and do more with less. ‘Industrial Internet’ can be a potential solution to address this need. The main drivers of the industrial internet are connected ‘smart machines’, the ability to manage and process large data, and advanced analytic algorithms. The industrial internet is expected to be larger than the consumer internet enabling consumers and producers to unlock true potential of current and future assets. The concept of ‘digital twins’, offers the ability to utilize high fidelity models which run real-time on the asset and provide crucial insights into system behavior. This talk will cite a few examples from diverse business segments to drive the point.
