Digital Twin Technology
Revolutionize Your Operations and Decision-Making
Access the Power of Digital Twin
Create a precise digital inventory for improved asset management
Assets are accurately inventoried and geo-located within your Digital Twin to improve tracking and maintenance scheduling. Comprehensive digital records of equipment history and performance enhance lifecycle management of assets. The tool integrates with existing Enterprise Asset Management systems for seamless information flow.
Enable renovations or expansions with updated as-built drawings
With a digital twin, engineering-grade as-built documentation is delivered reliably and quickly—in days instead of months. The precise 3D facility models eliminate guesswork and pave the way for expansions and retrofits. Rest assured there won’t be a need for rework relying on verified data from a digital twin.
Optimize redesigns and retrofits with a virtual space planning sandbox
Plan space redesigns and retrofits faster and more accurately with a digital twin-enabled sandbox. The tool allows you to visualize changes in 3D and virtually test layouts prior to moving anything physically. Collaborate in real-time and optimize workflows without an onsite presence. Design iteration becomes smarter and adapts to operational needs.
Provide a resource to aid emergency response planning and simulation
Digital Twin technology provides first responders with a real-time, interactive facility model, enabling pre-incident planning, route optimization and access to critical shutoff points before arriving on site. During an emergency, responders can leverage real-time sensor data and schematics to provide a faster, safer and more coordinated response.
Improve accuracy in clash detection for capital projects
Clash detection is more accurate compared to traditional CAD models. You can simulate changes and modifications before implementing them in the real world, allowing project teams to test scenarios and identify potential clashes. By leveraging AI and machine learning, a digital twin can predict potential clashes based on historical data.
Identify and resolve problems with GEMBA Walks and mobile issue management
By leveraging high-resolution 3D scanning and real-time facility data, teams can conduct remote and mobile GEMBA Walks, improving oversight, issue resolution and operational efficiency. Software integrates with a mobile app for geo-tagged issue tracking. GEMBA Walks become a seamless, immersive experience identifying problems and offering guidance on resolution in real-time.
Accelerate operational readiness with virtual commissioning and testing
Take advantage of a digital twin to help get your facility ready for production. Validation is smoother and more efficient with the ability to execute testing and retrieve documentation faster. Smart turnover packages integrate eVLM data, leading to improved efficiency, compliance and operational readiness.
Boost asset performance with better maintenance and scheduling
Digital Twin streamlines maintenance planning by providing accurate, up-to-date visual data on equipment locations and specifications. It reduces equipment downtime through more efficient scheduling and preventive maintenance. Integrating real-time sensor data with the model supports predictive maintenance strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Digital Twin and traditional CAD/BIM?
Digital twins use laser scanning to capture exact reality with 3-millimeter accuracy, while CAD/BIM are interpretations. This enables real-time data integration and physics-based simulation capabilities that traditional methods cannot achieve.
How quickly can digital twin technology be implemented?
Implementation varies by scope: basic GEMBA functionality can be ready in days, while comprehensive digital twins with full sensor integration may take weeks. Our mobile scanning captures 150,000 square feet per day.
What ROI can we expect from Digital Twin implementation?
Organizations typically see 25% cost reductions in validation projects, 30% efficiency improvements and significant time savings. Pfizer saved 3,000 hours annually, which is equivalent to savings of 1.5 FTE.
How does Digital Twin integrate with existing systems?
Our solutions seamlessly integrate with Enterprise Asset Management systems, CMMS platforms and existing workflows. We provide Excel-based data export/import capabilities for easy updates.
What's required for ongoing maintenance of the digital twin?
Digital twins require minimal ongoing maintenance. Updates can be performed quickly when significant changes occur, but the initial scan provides long-term value without frequent re-scanning.
