What's Digital Twins

Che cosa è il gemello digitale ? a che cosa serve ?

La digitalizzazione delle costruzioni nasce con il CAD, si arricchisce con il GIS, poi attraverso il BIM entra nel 3D, ma raggiunge una dimensionalità a più livelli nel momento in cui si arriva al Digital Twin, al gemello digitale.

Attraverso una continuo approfondimento del tema in questa pagina andremo pian piano a scoprire, con aggiornamenti successivi, a scoprire cosa sia il gemello digitale.

Digital Twins Defined

Digital twins are digital representations of physical assets and systems in the context of their surrounding environment, converged with their engineering information, for understanding and modeling of their performance. Like the real-world assets they represent, digital twins are ever changing. They are continuously updated from multiple sources, including sensors and drones, to represent the right-time status or working condition of real-world, physical infrastructure assets. In effect, digital twins—by combining digital context and digital components with digital chronology—advance BIM and GIS through 4D.

Benefits of Digital Twins

Digital twins enable users to visualize the entire asset – in a web browser, on a tablet, or with a mixed reality headset – check status, perform analysis and generate insights in order to predict and optimize asset performance. Users can build digitally before they build physically and plan out and de-risk maintenance activities before they carry them out in the real-world. They now have software at their disposal to envisage hundreds of scenarios, leverage machine learning to compare design alternatives or maintenance strategies and optimize across multiple parameters. Visualization and contextualization of engineering data lead to better informed decision-making and stakeholder engagement throughout the asset lifecycle.
