What does Digital Twin include?
Digital Twin is a digital replica of a building, infrastructure asset or another physical environment that combines a 3D model, project information, building systems, operational data and real-time data. Unlike a standard 3D model, a digital twin can support monitoring, analysis, management and maintenance throughout the full lifecycle of the asset.
IPA - Architecture and more creates Digital Twin solutions for public, office, industrial, logistics, infrastructure, residential and mixed-use projects. The digital twin can include information about architecture, structure, building systems, materials, equipment, technical systems, operational parameters and key processes within the building.
For the successful operation of a Digital Twin, sensors, building management systems and other data sources can be integrated. This connects the digital model with the actual condition of the asset and allows tracking of processes, loads, energy performance, technical parameters and maintenance needs.
For industrial buildings and infrastructure assets, the digital twin can be used for monitoring production processes, simulating different scenarios, optimizing operations, analyzing loads, managing maintenance and planning future changes or extensions.
The service is directly connected with BIM modeling, Reality Capture and Scan-to-BIM, 4D and 5D BIM, Clash Detection and project management. When a Digital Twin is developed on the basis of reliable design and operational information, it provides better visibility, more informed decisions and more efficient building management.
