Composable Digital Twins is an application-development approach for Digital Twins that is based on an agile, composable enterprise architectural pattern.
Composable Digital Twins focus on faster time to value, service-based orchestration, and reusing packaged business capabilities to develop and adapt highly scalable industrial applications for complex systems.
We come from three decades dominated by large-scale monolithic technology support platforms such as complex ERPs and CRMs. Their focus was on improving efficiencies in processes, by dictating how businesses should run.
The challenge going forward is that these systems are typically very rigid and don't support the pace of change and the unprecedented levels of uncertainty accelerating over the past few years.
Monolithic applications may have worked for the change in the last 50 years, but they won't support the agility, innovation, and experimentation needed to remain competitive in the future.
Every day your business is exposed to more and more internal and external events that need to be responded to in real time. Composability is the key to proactive and effective response.
Ensuring resilience in uncertain times demands modular applications that can be recomposed on demand, but many vendor and enterprise applications remain monolithic, making change slow and expensive. The future requires adaptive, re-usable, and capability-based business applications.
To achieve resilience, business and technology innovation must be closely aligned. However, most technology teams lack the experience of close collaboration with business experts and develop technology-centric application designs, not well-suited for active business participation.
Traditional solutions either isolate application data and analytics processes or tie them up in monolithic applications. Both models reduce business access to comprehensive actionable intelligence, constraining fast, informed, and contextualised decision making in times of rapid change.
The XMPro Digital Twin Composition Platform provides the tools to integrate, orchestrate, and package capabilities to create Composable Digital Twins at scale.
The development of the Digital Twin Capabilities Periodic Table was pioneered by XMPro for the Digital Twin Consortium.
We've published a 3,000-word guide to help you understand exactly what a digital twin is and how you can use it to manage your operations in real time.
In the guide, you'll learn:
Talk to a solution architect about how to identify the capabilities your operating context needs, and how to compose them into a working Digital Twin application.
