The global supply chain digital twin market size is expected to reach USD 5.98 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Digital twin adoption has been fueled by the industry's rapid growth and the demand for cutting-edge technology. This technology enables better monitoring, analysis, and operation optimization by providing a complete and real-time picture of the whole supply chain.
A digital twin is the creation of a digital replica of the complete supply chain or certain components within it. This replica contains physical assets such as manufacturing facilities, storage facilities, transportation vehicles, processes, data flows, and relationships between different pieces. Furthermore, the digital twin incorporates IoT devices, sensors, and other data sources. Temperature, humidity, location, and production parameters are all collected in real time by these devices at various points in the supply chain. This information is then input into the digital twin, which allows for a dynamic and accurate simulation.
Unforeseen operational halts pose significant disruptions and financial burdens for industrial manufacturers, amounting to more than 15 hours of lost time per week and exceeding USD 50 billion annually, even before the pandemic. A substantial portion of these interruptions, nearly half, stem from equipment malfunctions. To counteract these challenges, the strategy of predictive maintenance, involving the anticipation and preemptive repair of assets before they malfunction, has emerged as a compelling approach. Its implementation promises substantial cost reductions and heightened productivity, benefiting both manufacturers and logistics providers.
The potency of digital twins in furnishing real-time insights into the status of physical objects positions them as an optimal solution for predictive maintenance. For instance, in 2022, Kraft Heinz joined forces with Microsoft to develop digital twins for all 34 manufacturing facilities in North America. Among the primary aims was the curtailment of mechanical downtime across each establishment.
Beyond just comprehensive warehouses, digital twins can also be effectively deployed for individual assets, even on a smaller scale. Forward-thinking logistics entities and equipment service providers are crafting digital replicas of items such as singular robots, trucks, and tools. This emulation approach enables consistent monitoring of their conditions, identifying wear and tear that necessitates timely attention to avert breakdowns. Employing digital twins to facilitate predictive maintenance yields substantial benefits for logistics providers, including the potential to diminish reactive maintenance by around 40% within a given year. This not only amplifies operational throughput but also substantially reduces operational expenditure.
