Deloitte's Optimal Reality digital twin lets organizations see, trial, and solve solutions for smart cities
Around the world, enormous investments are being made to create smarter cities to improve how we live, work, and move. Sectors such as transport, energy, and agriculture are changing more quickly than ever before from rapid technological innovation as well as in response to climate change, population growth, and globalization. Many businesses and organizations will consequently face many complex problems they haven't been able to address because of existing limitations to technology and capability.
Digital twins provide a way to change complex systems with more confidence than ever before by creating digital versions of physical systems, so organizations can make better, faster, and more optimal decisions for their business operations and performance in the physical world. Optimal Reality is Deloitte's digital twin capability based on simulation techniques pioneered in Formula 1 racing. It helps organizations run millions of permutations on a digital replica of their network to drive optimal decision-making within seconds.

Through the Optimal Reality solution, Deloitte is working with ambitious and pioneering customers to help identify and solve their "wicked problems". These are problems customers have never been able to solve before because of existing limitations to technology and capability. Deloitte helps customers understand how the Optimal Reality platform can solve these problems, transform their operations, and drive their business forward, faster. Deloitte integrates the physical-digital-physical journey, empowering a human to make the right decisions from millions of possible scenarios with far more certainty. The OR digital twin lets organizations see, trial, and solve.

TRIAL: Combining historic, simulated, and real-time data with the simulation and machine-learning technology, OR helps businesses to understand the impacts of millions of what-if scenarios for both macro and micro decisions.
SOLVE: OR enables businesses to make the right decision from millions of possible scenarios, based on the objectives they want to achieve. All applications are intuitively built to empower operations staff as well as technology teams.
The OR team works with customers to understand their environment and identify the preliminary opportunities to enhance their operations. Typically starting with an innovation workshop or a proof of concept, Deloitte works collaboratively with customers to see how Optimal Reality can solve their most complex challenges in relation to creating smarter cities.
