The Digital Twin for Education and Training

Matthias Grosch
Matthias Grosch is a project manager in the economy cluster NMWP.NRW. He made his first experience with digital twins during his studies of material science, where he worked on digital representations of material processing machinery. At NMWP.NRW he is responsible for the areas nanoelectronic and MEMS.

Dario Luipers
Dario Luipers is head of the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Rheinland. He has been employed at TH Köln since 2019 and has been working on the topic of digitalization and AI ever since. The Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Rheinland supports small and medium-sized enterprises in digitization. In this context, the center also offers an insight into VR and AR technology, which is used here primarily in the context of adult education.

“The Digital Twin Technology A brief introductory”

Digital twins have been used in a variety of fields for quite some time. These fields include processing, material sciences, industrial production and life sciences or healthcare. But how can we use them to their full potential?

"Qualification of young managers by means of digital twin"

Digital imaging allows us to teach teamwork and leadership skills interactively in a realistic work environment. The realistic environment increases knowledge transfer many times over.

"Augmented Reality as visualization and interaction layer of a digital twin"

The Augmented Reality solution from oculavis makes knowledge travel, not technicians. This saves travel costs and related CO2, plant downtimes are reduced and innovative, digital business models in service of machine and plant manufacturers can be designed. The remote age has just begun!

"The future of training: Virtual learning with digital twins"

The future of employee training is digital, interactive and even fun! We are therefore developing a platform for the virtual training of employees. With the help of virtual reality glasses, employees learn how to safely operate, maintain and service a plant - even before it has been built - regardless of time and location.
