Digital Twin Consortium expands presence in India, Southeast Asia

DTC will work with companies including Open Health Systems Laboratory (OHSL), Axomem and Dell Technologies

The Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) announced it has expanded its regional branch organizer (RBO) program to include India and Southeast Asia.

In a release, DTC said it will work with members including Open Health Systems Laboratory (OHSL), Axomem and Dell Technologies to facilitate local and regional activities in India and Southeast Asia. These companies will work to facilitate and drive local DTC engagements and activities with regional industry, government and academic institutions on behalf of the consortium throughout India and Southeast Asia.

“India and Southeast Asia are known for technological innovation. We look forward to furthering the adoption of digital twins throughout the region, working with our new RBOs,” said Dan Isaacs, general manager and CTO of the Digital Twin Consortium.

“As the RBO for India, OHSL will collaborate with other RBOs across the globe to conduct a series of local Digital Twin Consortium events and joint promotional activities,” said Anil Srivastava, president of OHSL. “We’ll bring industry, academia, and digital twin providers together to accelerate the meaningful and pervasive deployment of artificial intelligence and digital twins across all sectors of the economy.”

“Axomem is looking forward to being the inaugural RBO for Southeast Asia. We’re already collaborating on local projects using digital twin technologies to predict disease in acute-care hospitals. We’ll be working with partners in healthcare and other industries, including manufacturing, telecommunications, energy and government across Southeast Asia, to promote the value and adoption of digital twins,” said Sean Whiteley, the founder of Axomem, a digital twin startup based in Singapore.

Axomem provides next-generation digital twin hosting solutions supporting 3D, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) visualization of complex relationships.

Last month, the Digital Twin Consortium announced a new working group with the aim of addressing the application and adoption of digital twins in the telecommunications market.

By using a virtual model of an entire area or process, management can visualize and test out different initiatives, making data-driven decisions based on billions of network performance data points. These initiatives can then be evaluated through more precise enterprise-level analytics and location intelligence, to help identify optimal implementation scenarios, DTC said.

Digital twins can also simulate the propagation of radio waves in various environments and identify the optimal placement of antennas and repeaters for maximum coverage and signal strength, according to DTC.

The new working group will define and identify digital twin applications for the telecommunications industry. It will also explore implementation scenarios utilizing extended reality (XR) capabilities and advanced simulation perspectives. The new telecom group will also investigate use cases and reference implementations for intelligent infrastructure, smart cities, and beyond. These include network design optimization, operations, and capacity planning, DTC added.
