First Twin Admin
Proving point for ‘flexible’ digital twin.
Lesson
It doesn’t need to be complex to showcase unique value.
The lesson in full: Even if the product is highly complex under the hood, the storytelling that resonates with customers is often simple and direct. And to tell such a story while the product is being constructed, what matters is that each element of the flow exists, enough to prove the future potential.
What it is
The first version of the admin portal in the early days of the Digital Twin product. My first major contribution to Kognitwin after joining KDI, working with folks that later became the core team for the product. A very naive application built to edit JSON configuration for the front end application, start contextualization tasks and monitor the status of such tasks. While simple, this focused on highlighting the ‘extreme flexibility’ of the Kognitwin product. This flexible aspect directly targeted a key challenge in heavy asset industries (B2B): Products are made to extremely rigid specs, which works well for whoever created the specs but not so much for similar-but-different facilities/assets.
