Digital twins improve energy efficiency, streamline processes, and preserve operational knowledge — here's how to implement them in manufacturing. 

In this episode, Stephen Witherden, Digital Innovation Lead at BECA, shares real-world applications of digital twin technology in manufacturing — and practical advice on where to start. We cover: 

- What a digital twin actually is in a manufacturing context — and how it differs from a simulation or a dashboard 

- How digital twins improve energy efficiency across manufacturing plants and process systems 

- How to use digital twins to streamline processes and reduce unplanned downtime 

- How the technology facilitates knowledge transfer and protects against key person dependency 

- A practical starting point for manufacturers at any scale who want to explore digital twin technology 

Whether you're a plant manager, operations director, or digital transformation lead, this episode gives you a grounded, application-focused introduction to digital twins that goes beyond the hype.
