Keynote – Digital Twins & Model-Based Definition: A New Era in Component Qualification

Narendra Akhadkar, Schneider Electric

Time: 08:50 – 09:40, Day 1

The integration of digital twin technology with model-based definition (MBD) methodologies presents a transformative approach to component qualification. At Schneider Electric we explore the development and application of a component digital twin, leveraging MBD as a critical enabler. By creating a virtual replica of physical components, the digital twin facilitates real-time monitoring, simulation, and analysis throughout the product lifecycle. This approach enhances the accuracy and efficiency of qualification processes, enabling predictive maintenance, performance optimization, and rapid iteration of design modifications. The synergy between digital twins and MBD not only streamlines the qualification workflow but also fosters innovation, sustainability, and resilience in engineering practices. This study underscores the potential of digital twins to revolutionize component qualification, offering insights into their implementation and benefits across the company.

About the Presentations

The presentations at the Nordic Model Based Enterprise Forum 2025 bring together real-world expertise, strategic insight, and hands-on experience from leading companies and organizations across industries. Each session is designed to demonstrate how Model Based Definition (MBD) is being implemented in practice — from engineering and quality assurance to manufacturing and enterprise-wide integration.

Speakers share success stories, lessons learned, and technical approaches that highlight both the benefits and the challenges of transitioning to a model-based workflow. These presentations provide attendees with the opportunity to explore tested strategies, innovative tools, and collaborative methods that are shaping the future of digital product development.

Whether you’re looking to understand the foundational value of MBD or explore advanced applications like CAM automation, metrology integration, or tolerance analysis, the sessions in this forum are curated to offer insight, inspiration, and actionable takeaways.
