Standardization and automation unlock digital twin and manufacturing scale

Dotson argues that unified technical standards are the prerequisite for digital twin systems to achieve stability and cross-industry adoption, and that decades of automation trial-and-error prove that methodical, proven frameworks—not ad-hoc solutions—enable manufacturers to scale B2B processes reliably.
