From the outset, digital twins facilitate the derivation, validation and harmonization of requirements from all relevant stakeholders, helping to transparently identify and resolve conflicts of interest or objectives in a timely and traceable manner. They form a crucial foundation for function-oriented and user-centered project coordination, including the management of all project elements across all project reviews.

Continuous functional assurance and requirements verification reduce temporal, monetary and qualitative risks throughout the entire lifecycle of the system. Configuration management, preparation of updates/upgrades and obsolescence management are significantly and timely established with the implementation and use of digital twins, ensuring their availability in later stages.
