MILWAUKEE — Johnson Controls announces it has joined the Digital Twin Consortium (DTC), an organization dedicated to continued development of digital twin technology. The organization’s membership includes dozens of technology leaders, such as Autodesk, Microsoft, Lendlease, GE Digital, and Northrop Grumman.

Johnson Controls joins a collaborative organization that pools resources in the development of digital twin technology.

“By joining the DTC, Johnson Controls will drive the requirements for digital twin standards across built environments to help align providers and system integrators while offering more value to customers who invest in digital twins,” said Vijay Sankaran, vice president and chief technology officer, Johnson Controls. “We continuously advocate the benefits of the digital twin concept among our partners and customers. Doing so helps Johnson Controls develop deep relationships with DTC members, and we expect these connections to be a tremendous driver of digital twin innovation.”
