Microsoft and NTT Data introduced a digital twin offering for enterprises to model real-world scenarios and connect IoT data at the edge to digital twins in the cloud.
The solution, which was developed with digital twin provider e-Magic and Microsoft Azure digital twin tech, begins by measuring energy consumption at the edge and integrating meters, sensors, systems, and devices into one dashboard so enterprises can assess their environmental impact in near real time.
According to NTT Data Chief Digital Officer Tanvir Khan, sustainability has become a significant enterprise consideration due to regulations, industry standards, and “the positive branding with employees and clients,” he told SDxCentral. NTT claims its digital twin offering will help accelerate corporate sustainability and emissions targets by automating edge data integration, removing data silos, and measuring various scopes of carbon emissions.
