What are the Applications of Digital Twin
for Operational BIM?
Obtain Real-time Data
AFM specialises in Operational BIM. We introduce Archibus, the renowned IWMS, to leverage the digital twin to apply Operational BIM. Since real-time data can be obtained from the digital twin in the system, other potential usages such as Building Management System (BMS) alarms and alert messages are possible.
Integrate with IoT sensors
A digital twin can integrate with IoT sensors to perform predictive maintenance of assets in facility management. Real-time data from IoT sensors will help detect asset issues and facility managers can take responding action to extend the remaining useful life of the system, asset, or component.
Analyze data in IoT Dashboard
Real-time data in the digital twin will be analyzed in IoT Dashboard. For instance, analysis of the energy consumption and utilization table in the dashboard can help minimize operational costs.
