Mirroring the real course of the operation
The data warehouse collects the history of transitions across the whole process chain.

Digital Twin combines operational data, predictive models and production constraints to determine how a decision under consideration affects the course of the whole operation.
Scenario analysis
Scope of use
Can the plant increase production by 20%?
What follows from taking one production line out?
How will a bill of materials change affect production cost?
Does executing the plan require an extra shift?
What is the impact of a delayed delivery on the production schedule?
Which schedule variant minimizes overtime?
Simulation → comparison → decision

How it works
Digital Twin is not a single model — it is a combination of several layers.
The first step is mirroring the real course of the operation; the second is training models for its individual segments.
The data warehouse collects the history of transitions across the whole process chain.
Instead of one universal model, a set of specialized models is used:
Each model is trained and validated for its specific forecasting task.
Digital Twin is built from four cooperating layers:
Machine Learning
forecast of the likely course
Optimization
choosing the optimal variant within the constraints
Simulation
assessing the consequences of individual scenarios
ERP data
the real state of the operation as the entry point
The predictive layer (gradient boosting, time-series models) feeds an optimization solver and a scenario simulation engine that runs on the plant's operational constraints.
The model architecture is not a fixed part of the product — the choice depends on the characteristics of the client's dataset.
Pipeline
One changed input
Demand up 20% — Digital Twin determines what follows across the whole process chain, and then computes alternative ways of executing the plan.

Sources of the financial effect
Waste ↓
Less overproduction and material loss
Inventory ↓
Lower level of frozen working capital
Overtime ↓
More accurate planning of people
Throughput ↑
Higher volume from existing infrastructure
Emergency buys ↓
Fewer emergency purchases
Downtime ↓
Higher utilization of available capacity
