Capturing a Treasure Trove of Data Insights With Digital Twin
Taking the next step on your digital journey & realizing the benefits of a digital handover
Webinar details
The promise of a “digital twin” is that it allows a building project to start digital and stay digital — from design to build to operations — and transform rich data into business intelligence. The reality of the industry, however, is much different from this vision. Mounds of disorganized data in varying formats are buried in electronic folders, rendering useless a treasure trove of valuable data insight. For an owner, that’s lost opportunity and money that cannot be recovered.
Digital twin technology seeks to unlock this treasure by freeing, organizing and standardizing data from design and construction, creating a simple and intuitive digital replica of all the components, systems, and spaces in a facility. The ultimate goal is a comprehensive digital handover from designer to owner of accessible and insightful data for better operational and business decisions.
Whether you’re an owner, operator or AEC professional, this webinar will help you take the next step on your digital journey and realize the benefits of a digital handover. Join us and AEC firms Jacobs and Black & Veatch to discuss how to better support projects, drive business and maximize investments.
