Digital Twin Technology ESF+ Course
Industry 4.0 Skillnet is proud to have secured funding under the ESF+ project.
This Industry 4.0 Skillnet course is funded through ESF+ programme which it is a social funding initiative co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union (www.eufunds.ie) aimed at promoting awareness and advocating for equal opportunities for all individuals to undertake upskilling or reskilling and advance their careers.
This funding is available to ALL professionals employed in the Irish private sector and to Sole Traders.

Overview
This training covers the basic understanding and the benefits of adopting the Digital Twin Technology in your sector. How digital twins of physical assets are obtained and the use of the information gathered by creating a digital twin. This course is CPD approved by Engineers Ireland – 7 CPD points.
Who should attend?
Engineers, Managers, Designers, Maintenance, Architects, Manufacturers, Construction, Technology Enthusiasts, in any sector.

Digital twin are virtual representations of physical assets, processes, or systems. By using digital twin, you can:
- Visualize and Optimize 3D Structures
Using digital twin , you can create a 3D blueprint of your construction site or building, allowing you to visualize the final product before it’s even built. This helps you identify and resolve issues early, reducing costly rework.
- Streamline Panelised Systems
Digital twin can verify the placement of complex building panel assemblies, ensuring zero room for error and enabling you to optimize your production processes.
- Enhance 3D Printing Training
Digital twin can be used to train technicians on the use of 3D construction printing technology, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in a safe, virtual environment before working on the actual project.
- Expedite Prefabricated Modular Construction
Digital twin can be used to quickly assemble and verify prefabricated modular units, reducing time, cost, and waste on-site.
- Optimize Processes and Ensure Quality
By creating digital twins of your production processes, you can identify and address inefficiencies, reduce waste, and ensure consistent quality.
