KDI – Digital Twin

At Halogen I was lucky to be part of the team working with KDI on their initial Digital Twin project. Check it out here.

Kongsberg Digital is committed to becoming a leading supplier of smart digital solutions to the industry. A digital twin will give businesses enormous savings in time and costs from planning and engineering, to construction and operations. A digital twin collects data from sensors and information such as 3D models, product and supplier information, historical and documented events. A Digital Twin makes sense of data by predicting future condition and coordinating maintenance operations. The twin provides context-relevant interaction that makes sense for different users with different needs, where all data is retrieved from the same location. A digital twin will grow and develop with time.

For Kongsberg Digital, I helped establish the basic principles for how a digital twin should exist and function, and what role KDI with the twin should have with its customers. We created the product on the basis that KDI should take ownership of the category of digital twin as a scalable platform and principle that could work on anything, a building, a ship, a platform or even a human body.

The project was run as a case study together with Equinor for the new platform Krafla to be built, divided into three POCs that together represented a history where different users interact with the twin in different contexts. 

My role was strategic design management in an interdisciplinary project group responsible for process, design, quality and consulting to project owners in Kongsberg Digital.
