Stop Piloting Dashboards. Start Piloting Plants.
Quit calling rework “digital.” Put discipline back in the loop. A digital twin is not a glossy screen over a historian; it’s a validated, live, physics-informed model tied to real tags, producing actionable decisions that change what people do at the machine today. Build that, and you shorten diagnosis time, cut blind adjustments, and convert trending into work orders and setpoint changes that prevent failure.
Own three things: fidelity, latency, and logging. Fidelity: capture the physics and constraints that actually govern the asset. Latency: compute and alert before the process drifts. Logging: make every model output traceable to inputs and version. Nail those, and your “digital” efforts stop being theatre; they become precision maintenance at scale.
Principle: Model the decision, not the display. Outcome: fewer trips, fewer energy leaks, fewer “we’ve always run it like this” habits. Ownership: Assign names to the twin, the route, and the weekly M&V (Measurement & Verification)—no orphaned alerts.
