The tech and manufacturing communities are set to benefit from an important upcoming event: a one-day international symposium on “Digital Twins in the Manufacturing System,” scheduled for May 21, 2025. This virtual symposium is organized under the EU-funded Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) CATCH_VR Project, which aims to foster innovation and skills development in cutting-edge digital technologies.
Digital twins, virtual replicas of physical manufacturing systems, have become a transformative technology in the Industry 4.0 era. They enable real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of manufacturing processes, enhancing efficiency, reducing downtime, and supporting predictive maintenance. This symposium will serve as a platform for experts, academics, students, and industry professionals to explore the latest advancements and practical applications of digital twins in manufacturing.
The event will be conducted entirely online, making it accessible to a broad audience across regions. All sessions will follow Pakistan Standard Time (PST, GMT+5), allowing convenient participation from local and international attendees. The organizers emphasize inclusivity by offering free registration; however, seats are limited, urging interested participants to register early to secure their spot.
Registered participants will receive official participation certificates, an added incentive for students and professionals seeking to bolster their credentials in digital manufacturing technologies. This certification can be valuable for career development, academic portfolios, or corporate training programs.
Those interested in attending can complete their registration via the provided online form at https://lnkd.in/d3ss4upK. The easy registration process encourages wide participation from the technology and manufacturing sectors, higher education institutions, and research organizations.
The CBHE CATCH_VR Project, which sponsors this symposium, is focused on strengthening capacity building in higher education institutions by integrating virtual and augmented reality technologies into engineering and manufacturing curricula. By facilitating knowledge exchange and collaborative learning, the project aims to prepare the next generation of engineers and technologists to meet evolving industrial demands.
This symposium is a critical opportunity for Pakistan’s academic and industrial sectors to engage with global developments in digital twin technology. Attendees will gain insights into how these virtual models can improve manufacturing workflows, enhance product quality, and contribute to smart factory initiatives. Additionally, discussions will likely cover challenges, case studies, and future trends in the adoption of digital twins.
In a rapidly digitalizing industrial landscape, events like this play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between theory and practical application. They enable stakeholders to network, share best practices, and collectively contribute to advancing Pakistan’s manufacturing competitiveness on the global stage.
With digital transformation driving economic growth worldwide, understanding and leveraging technologies like digital twins will be essential for companies aiming to innovate and sustain competitive advantage. This symposium offers a timely chance to deepen knowledge, foster collaboration, and accelerate technological adoption within Pakistan’s manufacturing ecosystem.
Mark your calendars for May 21, 2025, and take part in this free, highly informative symposium on digital twins in manufacturing. Early registration is encouraged to ensure participation and access to all sessions and materials.
