As manufacturers explore digital twins to accelerate smart manufacturing initiatives, many organizations are now questioning how these systems can evolve beyond visualization into autonomous, artificial intelligence-driven operational models. This session examines the next generation of digital twins, highlighting how AI, generative AI and enterprise-scale data convergence are reshaping industrial operations. The session also explores emerging concepts such as autonomous digital twins, physical AI, virtual twins and closed-loop systems, while also addressing the realities of implementation in brownfield manufacturing environments.

In this session, you will learn:

• How AI and generative technologies are advancing the evolution of digital twins;
• Why enterprise-scale OT-IT convergence and real-time data integration are critical for smart manufacturing;
• How autonomous, virtual and closed-loop digital twins can improve operational efficiency and decision-making.
