To better understand maturity toward digital twins and the National Digital Twin programme CDBB have recently launched an extension to the Smart Infrastructure Index. This is currently open to DT Hub members from asset owning organisations until 31st August.
@David McKee – How have you seen maturity towards digital twins develop in the built environment? In your opinion, in what areas would increased maturity accelerate the delivery of the National Digital Twin?
The quick answer, is I think it’s slightly too early to tell. The key problem we’re seeing is the wide number of standards that exist in data formats, communication protocols etc. And Digital Twins have in reality been lead by tech company’s who until very recently didn’t engage with experts from the built environment domain.
So a short answer is we need key experts from BIM and related concepts to work with technologists and come up with almost a feature matrix of what needs to be supported and how.
