To Berlin, for the first of two trips to that city this month. This week, it’s all about #digitaltwin. #DTSMS.

[Paul Miller @PaulMiller]

We'll be producing a series of new #digitaltwin reports at @forrester in 2024. I'm looking forward to the Digital Twin & Smart Manufacturing Summit (https://t.co/PSnU99F3we) in Berlin next month, as part of our data gathering. If you're going to be there, I'd love to chat. #DTSMS

The world's tallest wind turbine tower made of wood is under construction in Sweden. https://t.co/YPyeBBiiMJ via @climate <- interesting, but more info needed on relative cost, lifespan, etc. Worth digging further.

“Nobody wants to do maintenance” on critical infrastructure except these oddball tech startups, reports @mims in the @WSJ. https://t.co/OzlcP259dq : the biggest challenge I hear from their customers is often the weather - wind, rain, etc make a drone or bot's job very difficult.

Find The Right Use Cases For Your Robots https://t.co/wyACI883qw via @Forrester <- me, blogging about my new report (and upcoming client webinar) on #robots, #autonomy, #automation, and more...

[Paul Miller @PaulMiller]

Many companies, over many years, made big consumer plays for AR or VR or MR or (most recently) metaverse, only to belatedly realise that enterprise uses like employee training made more sense. The use case is not a surprise. That it took all of them so long to work it out is.

[Bloomberg @business]

Meta is hoping to revive interest in the metaverse by pitching it as a tool to help train workforces https://t.co/iQUXw59I5C

Every seat on this train from Amsterdam seems to be reserved to Hannover. I wonder why that might be? :-o #HM2023

US manufacturing commitments double after Biden subsidies - @FT - “semiconductor and clean tech investments almost double [those] made in same sectors in whole of 2021, and nearly 20x the amount in 2019, according to data compiled by the Financial Times.”

@WilliamKilbride @dannykay68 Ah, good point.

[Paul Miller @PaulMiller]

@WilliamKilbride @dannykay68 The flag’s a distraction, right? That’s actually the National Gallery in Edinburgh, flying a flag to advertise a special exhibition of material loaned from Sydney. Or maybe not…
