How Blockchain Technology Supports Digital Twins in Industrial Manufacturing (Part 2)

Develop a secure platform of digital twins using Blockchain chain

Data security when applying digital twin technology is extremely important. All data and products, machine parameters, production line parameters are used as parameters to build the digital replica. Therefore, security is one of the top priorities for manufacturers when applying this technology. With Blockchain participation, the parameters of the digital copy will be protected by encryption. and the ability to provide a transparent history of data.

Besides, the secure transmission of data also makes businesses benefit more from the digital twins. Whether small or large, the application of 4.0 technology is becoming an inevitable trend of many manufacturers in the world. And Blockchain combined with the digital twins will be their next big step.

In order to enhance competitiveness in the market, it is necessary to separately transform different platforms to allow information sharing between digital twins. Digital twins used in Blockchain also help protect brands and prevent counterfeit and fake goods. Creating a digital twin for a product in Blockchain helps us see its transactions, along with information about the product’s origin as well as be able to know who owns the product before. Furthermore, companies that combine Blockchain with simulated environments can find their products worldwide with great accuracy. This will help them find the lost or stolen product.

Improve brand’s growth with digital twins.

This will help brands verify their value and help protect their products from counterfeits. Big companies such as IBM have invested heavily in their Blockchain, creating separate parts for the digital twins in the system. IBM Watson IoT, a practical system for identifying, learning and transmitting information, created its own digital twin thanks to Blockchain. Blockchain also improves the cost efficiency of the digital twin, allowing the technology to be created and applied to many other industries. Using Blockchain will help companies ensure their huge amount of information is handled and protected in the best way.

With the support of Blockchain, experts believe that the digital twin technology will become an important factor driving the digitalization – automation of the manufacturing industry.
