“ In supply chain there are so many reminders the future is already here ”

Of all the technological advancements in recent times , digital twin technology continues to be one of the most discussed . In this issue we look at how digital twin technology is being deployed in the supply chains of the aerospace and defence ( A & D ) industries . We talk to Lee Annecchino , EVP Global Aerospace & Defense Leader at Capgemini , where he is responsible for aero and defence strategy and for helping create the ecosystem needed by the industry . Annecchino “ In A & D , traditional approaches to solving problems throughout the value chain are often costand time-intensive ,” says Annecchino . He says an estimated 73 % of A & D organisations have a long-term roadmap for digital twin tech , because traditional approaches to solving problems throughout the value chain are often cost- and time-intensive . It is a fascinating insight into the high-tech end of what is already an ultra high-tech industry , and it is a similar story across many other industries . That ’ s the thing about supply chain : there are so many reminders that the future is already here .
