Its process includes building digital models of complex machinery. In latest developments, General Electric in Bengaluru commissions the head of physical-digital analytics to help the HR department curb attrition. Vinay B Jammu and his team utilize the same concept that [GE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-cardiovascular-ultrasound-system) uses to test machinery and better customer experience across the board -- including aviation, power, energy and healthcare. The team created a digital twin that takes into consideration different inter-corporate factors -- from who a group of people answer to to how many promotions and awards employees receive per sector. The digital twin model encompassed 5-10 individuals from each department. In the end, Jammu's system is able to cut costs, boost productivity, as well as solve housekeeping problems like reducing wastage in GE cafeterias. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Problem-solving Digital Twin Models:** Digital twin technology can be repurposed for problem-solving beyond machinery maintenance. - **Visualized HR Analytics Using Digital Twin:** Applying digital twin to HR analytics can provide a more holistic view of the organization and improve employee satisfaction. - **Cross-industry Adaptation of Digital Twin:** Digital twin technology can be applied to various industries, from aviation to healthcare, for efficient maintenance and improved customer experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Manufacturing:** Digital twin technology can be adapted to monitor and maintain complex machinery in manufacturing. - **Human Resources:** Digital twin can be applied for a more comprehensive HR analytics and reduce employee attrition. - **Aviation:** Applying digital twin can improve maintenance and customer experience in aviation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Backed Digital Twins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-experiment.md) - [Digital Twin-Focused Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ku-leuven.md) - [Digital Twin Retail Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/store-digital-twin.md) - [Digital Twins Creation Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtime-digital-twins.md) - [Automotive Digital Twin Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simulation-platform.md) - [AI-Powered Digital Fashion Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelz-x-le-troch.md) - [Digital Twin Excellence Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-twin1.md) - [Digital Twin Medical Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-twin-ai.md) - [Digital Twin Health Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-body-digital-twin-ai.md)
