The EDM Association’s Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) presents the Digital Twin System (DTS) Framework, which defines the Digital Twin System as a four-layer architectural framework: Data, Context, Decision and Process Orchestration, and Actuation that is supported by the Digital Thread. Dr. David McKee (Crysp) and Pieter van Schalkwyk (XMPro) walk through what each layer contributes, trace industrial scenarios end-to-end across all four, and explain how the framework treats humans, autonomous agents, and robots as actuators. 45 minutes with additional 15 minute live Q&A following the presentation.
A digital twin shows what is happening in a physical system; most organizations still have no defined architecture for turning that insight into governed action.
This session maps DTC’s existing work onto the four layers: the Digital Twin Capabilities Periodic Table, the AI Agent Capabilities Periodic Table, and the Industrial AI Agent Manifesto from the Composability Framework Working Group including multi-agent orchestration.
Key Takeaways:
- What each layer of the Digital Twin System contributes:
- Data as the synchronized foundation
- Context as the meaning bound to asset and process
- Decision and Process Orchestration as evaluated coordination
- Actuation as the closed loop back into the physical world.
- How the Digital Twin Capabilities Periodic Table and the AI Agent Capabilities Periodic Table are utilized throughout the DTS
- How DTS systems facilitate multi-agent orchestration and governance objectives
