Digital Twins
A digital replica in the physical world
Digital Twin technology allows for a digital representation of a physical object, process, or service. It is a digital replica in the physical world that is used to replicate processes in order to predict how they will perform.
At Methods, we use our knowledge and expertise in solution design to build organisations a Digital Twin solution that can improve organisations' supply chain operations, innovate with product design, or enhance the customer experience.
Service overview
Digital Twins are dynamic, virtual models of the physical world, enhancing our ability to understand, learn, and reason from changes in the built environment
Enabling Digital Twins, we facilitate the continuous capture of sensor data to optimise performance, predict failures, and simulate future scenarios. This concept is possible due to advances in IoT technology.
Whether you’re improving your supply chain operations, innovating with product design, or enhancing customer experience with new services, Methods professionals can help organisations realise their Digital Twin. Using our knowledge and expertise in solution design and builds, we can help start an organisation's journey towards a Digital Twin solution.
We can:
- Take data from multiple Digital Twins’ streams or in real-time from IoT devices, and aggregate for a composite view across a number of real-world entities, adopting industry best practices and methodologies
- Encapsulate software object or models that mirror a unique physical object, process, organisation, person, or other abstraction
We are experienced in developing a digital representation of a real-world entity or system

We are vendor neutral and work across all public cloud platforms as well as UK Cloud and ROSA. Methods also partners with BOXARR and our analysts are fully versed in the use of BOXARR products. BOXARR enables us to build a Digital Twin to map complex models for highly engineered products and services. Models can be built and maintained from existing data sources and can exploit the collaborative participation of numerous stakeholders.
