Our presentation explores how to manage data effectively for successful Digital Twin implementations. At FLAGS Software we know a Digital Twin is only as good as the data it relies on. We will discuss:
- How organisations collect excessive data, much of which remains at best, unused, or at worst, a diversion from the true picture.
- How data lakes promise a unified repository, but often turn into disorganised "data swamps."
- How without standardisation and clear parameters, AI-driven insights become unreliable.
