Digital Twins are revolutionizing construction, providing a precise virtual vision for more efficient planning and project management.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), also known as Digital Twins, were the main trends of recent years. But what do these buzzwords really mean? Although their importance is recognized, their impact on our daily lives is not yet clearly understood by most people.
The Digital Twin offers a crucial analytical advantage in the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling). The concept uses simulation to gain an in-depth understanding of each component. It collects sensor data from multiple sources and integrates it into a 3D model, enabling design teams to gain an in-depth understanding of each component. Thanks to the digital twin concept, BIM models evolve in real time, guaranteeing automatically updated views of the physical objects and buildings they represent.
Deciphering the "Digital Twins" terminology
To better understand the benefits of digital twins, we first need to clarify the jargon. So let's take a look at the words currently circulating in the construction industry:
IoT (Internet of Things): This is a network of devices that have access to the Internet and are able to communicate with each other. IoT devices can be monitored and controlled remotely. In the context of the digital twin, the IoT provides the framework for updating associated digital models in real time.
