Breathing Life Into the Digital Twin with Daniel Reed at MxD

33 min • 18 oktober 2023

In this episode we explore one of the best examples of a living (and literally) breathing digital twin, a “lung in the loop” model that allows a single ventilator to be used to assist the breathing of multiple patients. 

We’re joined by Daniel Reed, Senior R&D Project Manager at MxD, a public-private partnership that matches federal investment with private investment to advance digital manufacturing technology for the US manufacturing industry.

We talk about:

  • Working in MxD’s “future factory” in Chicago.
  • Using sensors and networks to create smarter factories.
  • The role of digital twins in the factory of the future.
  • The “lung in the loop” model — using digital twins to deal with ventilator shortages during Covid.
  • How digital twins process data.
  • The potential of having digital twins in hospitals around the world.
  • Why isn’t there more data sharing in manufacturing right now?
  • What’s next with the lung in the loop model?
  • The exciting future of digital twins.
