Thanks for the reactor. Now where is the digital twin?
It would be absurd if manufacturers delivered industrial equipment without operational manuals. Unfortunately, these “paper twins,” though helpful initially, decline in accuracy after years of operation, maintenance and wear.
What if, however, equipment came packaged with a digital twin? One tailor made to the equipment delivered, down to every weld? Now imagine the benefits if said twin was physics informed, able to predict (in seconds) asset performance, maintenance and wear. This is the future Latticept delivers with its Boltzmann reactor.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 00:35 – The shift from experience-based to physics-first equipment.
- 01:51 – What is the Boltzmann reactor and why it includes a twin.
- 08:27 – Why this this technology is coming now.
