Efficient buildings, for the future.

Digital Twin Unit combines the digital design expertise of global architectural practice Scott Brownrigg with leading Digital Twin, IoT, and CAFM platforms to deliver a centralised Digital Twin strategy for building and infrastructure clients worldwide.

A Digital Twin is an intelligent system that connects your physical and digital assets. Digital Twin Unit helps you understand the value of a Digital Twin and identify practical efficiencies. Our architects and BIM specialists define the brief and information standards, while our application and development engineers select, tailor, and implement the right platform for your needs.

How it works

A Digital Twin is a virtual 3D model that integrates data and system controls from multiple sources, providing intuitive dashboards for a range of users.

It is made available real time and can be visualised and analysed through a human-centric interface to create simulations, make predictions and plan for the future. Enabling you to better facilitate your building asset at planning, design and operational stages.

What problems are you trying to solve?

There are a variety of challenges when managing buildings and the flow of employees or public.

There are different levels of Digital Twins

However, we believe you can start simply & add complexity in the future, if the data is well structured.

Levels

  1. 1

    Descriptive Twin

    3D digital replica of the physical asset

  2. 2

    Operational Twin

    Connects asset and operational data

  3. 3

    Predictive Twin

    Predicts maintenance needs and provides insights

  4. 4

    Machine Learning Twin

    Automates decisions within a domain

  5. 5

    Autonomous Twin

    Acts and reasons on behalf of users using AI

How we can solve them

We can help you map out a strategic roadmap for the digital transformation of your asset prior to deploying a digital twin.

How we do it

We guide you through four consultation phases to develop your Digital Twin, working closely with you and your stakeholders throughout. Our service includes creating an AIR and the core standards required for rapid deployment of an operational Digital Twin.

Define Scope

Workshops to define scope, goals, and objectives of the Federated Digital Asset Model

Identify maintainable assets and set FM and operational goals

AIR Brief

Develop an AIR document detailing asset classifications, data conventions, attributes, and maintenance requirements

Create client implementation plan

Model Creation

Create federated BIM model

Develop digital twin strategic model

Coordinate asset model for key assets only

Asset Registration

Input and classify key maintainable assets for a Digital Twin-ready model

Connecting to CWA CAFM

Link asset information models to the agreed CWA CAFM or Digital Twin platform

Digital Twins can help you plan for the future.
