Topic: From Concepts to Deployment: A CIRP Perspective on Digital Twin Engineering in Manufacturing

Speaker: Nabil Anwer

Time: Tuesday, April 28, 2026, 9:30-10:30

Venue: Multi-Function Hall, 6th Floor, Baiyan Building

Registration: Free admission. No reservation required.

Abstract:

Digital twin engineering is reshaping product development and intelligent manufacturing. Reflecting the CIRP survey on digital twin in production engineering, this talk clarifies foundational concepts, digital representations, and uncertainty management, and introduces a structured framework for digital twin engineering. Emerging paradigms, tools, standards, and future research directions will be discussed.
