Why BIM Needs Digital Twins
5
The inherent symbiosis of IoT and digital twins helps establish a connected jobsite,
and this relationship can help break down the procedural barriers that divide project
phases.
For example, consider the following uses of digital twins and how they are made
possible through automatic data gathering:
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: A consistent flow of information from the field helps
monitor resource allocation. With the aid of automatic data delivery, you can
predict resource bottlenecks and adjust in turn. This helps the jobsite run more
efficiently and affordably.
Technological solution: A labor management platform collects data from
readers placed at entry and exit points placed onsite and automatically
reflects this data within a digital platform. This software allows managers
to automatically track workers' time, gain insight into entry/exit, and even
customize entry criteria to prevent unauthorized jobsite access.
Digital Twin Applications
Digital twins learn, and update, according to multiple sources — more data means
greater digital twin accuracy. This means that the success of a digital twin is closely
aligned with the breadth of your IoT environment. When integrated into an expansive,
reliant network of interconnected devices, you can trust a digital twin is receiving
appropriate, accurate data.
