Any digital transformation inevitably leads to crossroads, notably between the “already in place” and the “soon to be available”. There’s no need to start from scratch with a digital twin, as existing systems can be easily combined with the new technology!
Designing a digital twin from existing information systems, such as GIS or CMMS, requires an interoperable data exchange platform. The first step in its design is to connect these information systems to the platform to ensure seamless data integration between these two essential components. This platform, designed with robust security measures in mind, facilitates the integration of existing data within the digital twin, and provides a particularly solid basis for virtual modeling. The tool resolutely acts as a central point for aggregating and centralizing data from a variety of sources, providing a comprehensive overview. The platform also enables data from other systems to be updated in real time, so that the digital twin reflects the current state of assets and operations. In short, this stage structures the flow of data with agility and security, creating an ideal basis for accurate modeling of the environment.
