Twinning supply
Virginie Maillard works for Siemens, one of the largest industrial companies on the planet, where she leads the global research for the Simulation and Digital Twin Technology, from her office in New Jersey (US,) while carrying also the responsibility for research in key markets, like Germany, India and China. Before Siemens, she worked in the automotive industry, which is being taken by storm by multiple revolutions, starting from electrification. She is probably the best person to torture about supply chain disruption and the trend of “twinning” what we manufacture, or the factories per se, where everything gets created in the first place.
