AI advancements enable new generation of 'simulation enterprises' for business testing

Digital twins, which aim to create virtual replicas of physical assets for predictive analysis, initially failed due to a focus on individual components rather than the interconnected business processes. Recent advancements in AI, particularly in rising autonomy, better data inputs through generative models, and LLMs that can process unstructured data to understand context and behavior, are enabling a new era of "simulation enterprises." These organizations will use synthetic environments to stress-test decisions before implementation, as exemplified by PepsiCo's use of AI agents to simulate supply chain upgrades, leading to significant improvements in throughput and reduced capital expenditure.

IMPACT AI advancements are enabling more sophisticated simulation enterprises, allowing businesses to stress-test decisions and optimize operations before physical implementation.

    ​Why Digital Twins Failed, And Why Enterprises Are Trying Again

    Digital twins didn't fail because the simulation engines were weak. They failed because they modeled the wrong thing.
