Highlights
- TCS’s Digital Twindex series will explore the real-world adoption of digital twins and how AI is accelerating their impact across industries.
- Manufacturing is the first focus area because it pioneered digital twin adoption and is now leading the shift toward fully interconnected, AI-driven factories.
- Industry 4.5 is emerging as a transition phase, where AI, Cobots (collaborative robots), and edge computing bridge Industry 4.0 automation with Industry 5.0’s focus on sustainability and human-machine collaboration.
- AI-powered micro-factories are poised to replace centralized mega-plants, allowing manufacturers to scale production based on real-time demand while reducing capital investment.
- AI and Cobots can augment—not replace—human workers, enhancing decision-making, precision, and operational efficiency on the factory floor.
TCS kicks off a new Digital Twindex series studying the adoption and potential of digital twin technology across industries.
This series builds on the inaugural Digital Twindex, which suggested that digital twin technology will reshape business and society by 2035. Inspired by the promise of widespread transformation in the next decade, we’re setting out to explore where businesses are having success with digital twins and put a spotlight on how AI is accelerating and interconnecting technology to transform the future.
It should be no surprise, then, that manufacturing is our first stop. As an industry that first helped showcase the business value of digital twins, manufacturing shows us the potential for what may happen with digital twins across all industries next.
Join us to learn how manufacturers are interconnecting digital twins and AI to become future-ready and embark on the journey to creating the future factory and revolutionizing operations, supply chain management, and enterprise-wide intelligence.
Based on in-depth interviews with TCS executives, futurists, and partners, I’ll unpack the experts’ insights, which include:
- Into Industry 4.5 and beyond
- Manufacturing may be the earliest industry to enter “Industry 4.5,” a stepping stone to fully intelligent, sustainable Industry 5.0.
- Industry 4.5 represents a critical transition phase where AI-driven digital twins, Cobots, and edge computing are integrated at scale to bridge Industry 4.0’s automation with Industry 5.0’s focus on sustainability, resilience, and human-machine collaboration.
- Digital twins as the data backbone
- Providing a wealth of historical and synthetic data, digital twins can supercharge AI projects and enable immersive, connected enterprise ecosystems.
- Digital twins are no longer passive models; they function as real-time intelligence layers, continuously refining AI predictions and enabling enterprises to simulate, test, and optimize before execution.
- Modular micro-factories
- Manufacturing may shift from centralized mega-plants to regional, AI-powered micro-factories. Business agility and real-time intelligence will be competitive differentiators enabling personalized, localized, and on-demand production for future-ready manufacturers.
- These factories may replace centralized mega-plants with demand-driven, AI-powered production hubs, allowing manufacturers to scale production up or down based on real-time market needs while reducing long-term CapEx.
- Human-led manufacturing
- AI should support, not supplant humans by providing faster, more accurate decision-making from the office to the factory floor.
- Cobots can act as intelligent partners to support, automate, and optimize key processes while keeping human oversight in the loop.
- Together, AI and Cobots can handle high-precision, repetitive, and physically demanding tasks, allowing human workers to focus on complex problem-solving, process optimization, and real-time decision-making in an AI-augmented environment.
Watch out for the full TCS Digital Twindex coming soon! Please reach out to inquire about being notified as soon as the study goes live.
