Workshop
From Data to Digital Twins – Linking Models, Measurements, and Processes

28 April 2026 | 09:00 to 13:00
LIST - Maison de l'Innovation Belval

About this workshop

Want to understand how to connect real-world process data with virtual models? Curious about how Digital Twins can enhance monitoring, optimization, and predictive maintenance in industrial environments? Join our hands-on session and explore how combining physics, data, and AI enables the creation of digital replicas that bring insight and efficiency to complex systems. 

Designing a useful Digital Twin requires more than collecting data — it means building a consistent bridge between physical models, real-time measurements, and computational intelligence. 
This workshop offers a practical introduction to the Digital Twin approach, guiding participants through the end-to-end workflow: from experimental data acquisition and model integration to visualization, validation, and scenario testing, using the Plasma Group’s fluidized-bed reactor demonstrator as a real-world example. 

What you'll get
Over the course of this interactive session, you will: 
  • During this interactive session, you will: 
  • Discover the foundations of Digital Twin architecture — physical layer, data layer, and model layer. 
  • Learn how to connect sensor data streams with physics-based and statistical models. 
  • Explore data synchronization, model calibration, and visualization in practice.
  • Interact with live process data from the plasma demonstrator. 
  • Understand how Digital Twins can support process monitoring, optimization, and scale-up. 
  • Gain insights into data management, reproducibility, and cross-domain transferability. 

Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for engineers, data scientists, quality-control specialists, industrial technicians, and professionals seeking to explore how Digital Twins can strengthen process understanding and operational decision-making.

  • Why Join 
 Because Digital Twins turn raw data into actionable insight. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how to design, validate, and deploy digital representations that mirror and improve your physical processes. 

Format 
  • 4-hour workshop, including a guided visit to the physical demonstrator. 
  • Mix of presentation, live demonstration, and interactive exercises. 
  • Use of LIST’s JupyterHub environment for exploring models and process data. 
  • Combination of theory and practice: from model concept to implementation. 
What you will learn 
Participants will leave with: 
  • A structured understanding of how Digital Twins are built and validated.
  • Hands-on experience with real process data and its integration into virtual models. 
  • Insights into how to apply this framework to their own production or R&D environment. 
  • A clearer view of LIST’s digital innovation ecosystem and opportunities for collaboration
