Innovating with AI and Digital Twins in Manufacturing

• 2 full day or 4 x ½ day workshop for 4-15 participants or coaching for 3 or less participants
   
• Full professional certificate program and PDH available for PE ethics requirements
   
• Accelerated formats also available

This course introduces technical managers, engineers, and digital innovation teams to the latest applications of AI, machine learning, and Digital Twin technology through the immersive power of Unreal Engine. Participants will progress from fundamental concepts to advanced applications, building a fully functional Digital Twin that integrates with your existing engineering tools and data systems. Through hands-on exercises and expert-guided tutorials, you'll create photorealistic virtual environments that mirror your physical assets and unlock new possibilities for optimization, training, and innovation. Whether you're seeking to enhance predictive maintenance, revolutionize remote operations, or create cutting-edge training simulations, this workshop provides the practical skills and strategic insights needed to implement Digital Twin technology across your organization.

• Learn to build functional instructional digital twins using Unreal Engine's powerful visualization capabilities (no game development experience required)
   
• Integrate Digital Twin technologies and critical engineering tools like SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink and real-time data systems to create living virtual replicas of physical spaces
   
• Visualize complex industrial data in immersive 3D environments that enable predictive maintenance, performance optimization, and rapid scenario testing
   
• Implement practical Digital Twin solutions that deliver immediate business value while establishing the foundation for advanced applications in AI, machine learning, and analytics
   
• Enhance real-time collaboration and control by implementing AR/VR capabilities or AI decision logic to your digital twin
   
• Craft a strategic roadmap for implementing Digital Twin technology across your organization, from factory floor operations to C-suite decision-making processes

** This program can be tailored to specific industries and professions
