Breakout 2
We live in an uncertain future which requires us to build resilience into our physical systems which will be crucial in ensuring their ability to withstand, adapt to, and recover from disruptions, whether caused by environmental changes, system malfunctions, or external threats. Resilient systems maintain functionality even under stress, minimizing downtime and safeguarding operations.
Digital twins enhance infrastructure resilience by providing real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and disaster simulations to identify vulnerabilities and optimize responses. They enable early detection of issues, improve resource allocation during emergencies, and facilitate collaboration among stakeholders for informed decision-making. They also optimise operational efficiency, reduce risks, and strengthen cyber security, ensuring both physical and digital infrastructure can withstand and quickly recover from disruptions.
The digital twins and Infrastructure resilience session will look how we embrace uncertainty about the future, the need to acknowledge and respond to uncertainty and how new technologies such as digital twins can support this work.
