Digital Twins visualise building data
Digital Twins have a wide range of applications in the built environment. When innovating Digital Twins we research different use cases and implement the most recent technologies.
Innovating Digital Twins
We define digital twins as the digital representations of physical objects that contain static and dynamic data, that can be represented in real-time and that demonstrate their link and relationships with other objects. Digital Twins have a wide range of applications in the built environment.
The use of historical data helps us use machine learning algorithms to predict the behaviour of different components in a building.
The goals of our innovation team are researching different use cases and implementing the most recent technologies to develop and represent digital twins in our industry.
