Reply To: Digital twin in non-operational phases – what is your opinion?

Hi Astrid,

We work with many users through the engineering lifecycle stages who evolve their Digital Models in the direction of a Digital Twin.  Certainly around the dynamic environment of  a construction site there are many examples and resources.https://aecmag.com/construction/4d-construction-simulation-driving-everton-stadium-build/
We are currently engaging very actively with ESG capabilities, mainly around embodied carbon
and SiemensStadt provides a very large insight into the capabilities when working across a large built environment and linking to existing infrastructurehttps://aeccafe.com/nbc/articles/1/1959801/
However, when you say resources, the challenges for each of these stages is no different to Digital Twin in operations, just that you need to consider the same principles.
What is the purpose, can you trust the output, and is it effective.  For many users during the early stages of the project, the silos of data mean that Openness and Quality are sacrificed, when there can be great value in considering how the digital model can be consumed by the larger project / asset teams.
If you let us know what resources you are looking for we can start to build out a register for the good examples around.
