Digital Twin : Consumer Retail

⋅

WHAT IS DIGITAL TWIN ?

A digital twin is a virtual representation that serves as the real-time digital counterpart of a physical object or process. It allows you to visualize your ideas in a virtual environment and test them before implementing in the real world


Digital twins correspond to the digital information copy of an actual product on the internet that can be edited and updated as the real physical product goes through different stages of its life cycle.

Unlike a simulation in manufacturing, digital twins in retail are more focused to track and trace products, applicable to logistic companies and supply-chain managers. This data-driven digital twin information can be shared among stakeholders, organisations, teams and even countries and can also be deployed in a multilingual format. It enables retailers as well as customers to keep track of products and their corresponding information as they are sourced, shipped, purchased, used or consumed.

Product Prototyping reduces Spoilage : This information can then be used to understand and refine product information at all stages of its life cycles. Brands can reduce the risk of spoilage and cut down the turnaround time as well as updating offers or promotional changes or update other information related to the physical product and its packaging.

WHY NOW?

The DRIVING FACTORS for companies diving into the Metaverse.

self created
  • Decentralisation : The New Frontier
    Centralized identity providers (Meta and Amazon) have the power to create and store users’ digital identities on their centralized systems. However, tech companies that rely on centralized technologies often fail to protect user data and interests. On the other hand, decentralized networks built on blockchain can ensure no single entity has rigid control over a technology/platform. The success of metaverse depends on whether it is open-source, interoperable, democratically controlled, or driven by the few as has been the case in the current Web 2.0. Thus, user empowerment will be key. 
  • Retail : Immersive Consumer Interaction and experience :
    Virtual cafes, Virtual fashion shows, virtual concerts, virtual shopping – a virtual economy but real experiences in real-time. The new era of customer engagement sounds transformative. A good Metaverse customer experience should facilitate the flow of customers between your business and other parts of the metaverse. Technology like holograms can replace wordy emails and blogs to communicate in a more immersive way with the user. When it comes to remote team collaboration, a virtual space with 3D life-size avatars and objects can help get rid of isolation. The possibilities are endless, but proceeding with caution in the untapped realm of a realistic virtual world is necessary.  
  • Enabling : Creator Economy Boom :
    It would enable the creators to create and monetize the content. Can emerge as a creative-centric platform. NFTs are creating a new revenue model for the existing virtual spaces, from virtual lord ownerships to new forms of digital art. The introduction of unique, rare, and indivisible tokens enables creators to discover fans and monetize in a new way without middlemen.
