Target turns its inventory network into a digital twin
Target is using Proxima, a production-linked digital twin, to test inventory-flow decisions before changing its physical network, moving simulation from strategic network design into day-to-day inventory positioning.
The Dataleo angle
The twin is valuable because it validates decisions against logic tied to execution. Trust depends on continued model fidelity as operating rules change; the failure mode is allowing automated recommendations to rely on a simulation that has drifted from the production network.
