Cities must effectively manage both infrastructure and superstructure systems to ensure sustainable and efficient growth. In this process, Digital Twin technology enhances the transparency, traceability, and optimization of infrastructure and superstructure operations across both public and private sectors.
At TwinUp, we support the digital transformation of cities, simplifying the management of complex structures through a single platform.
What is a Digital Twin?
A Digital Twin is a digital replica of a physical object, system, or process powered by real-time data. This technology enables the easy tracking, analysis, and remote management of infrastructure and superstructure systems.
Specifically, Digital Twin technology offers various advantages for infrastructure and superstructure systems, such as real-time data monitoring, maintenance planning, risk analysis, and process optimization. Additionally, it accelerates decision-making processes and enhances reliability.
Infrastructure Digital Twin: Making the Invisible Visible
Accessing underground infrastructure systems is difficult and intervention carries high risk. To overcome these challenges, TwinUp employs Digital Twin technology. It positions infrastructure assets in the digital environment, collects real-time data through sensors, and develops preventive maintenance scenarios to improve system performance.
Teams can detect changes in water pressure or imbalances in energy lines early. This early detection allows for timely interventions and prevents breakdowns.
Superstructure Digital Twin: From Planning to Operation
Digital Twins created for superstructures, such as buildings, bridges, and roads, play an active role throughout the entire lifecycle of the structure. They generate detailed 3D models during the design phase and monitor operational data such as energy consumption and temperature.
As structural wear and tear occurs over time, teams can detect it early. This leads to lower maintenance costs, longer lifespan for structures, and increased energy efficiency.
Why Use Digital Twins for Infrastructure and Superstructure?
1. Data-Driven Decisions
Real-time data-driven analysis makes decision-making more effective and faster.
2. Cost and Time Savings
