Why use Digital Twins?
Remote Multi Skilled Site Visits using Digital Twins are fast becoming the standard practise in many industries.
Inventory & Condition Assessments
The first step is to have a comprehensive inventory of all physical assets and assess their current condition. This helps to identify any assets that require maintenance, repair, or replacement.
Life Cycle Planning
Infrastructure asset management requires a long-term approach, considering the full life cycle of assets from design and construction to decommissioning. Effective planning can help to optimize asset performance, reduce maintenance costs, and extend asset life.
Risk Management
Infrastructure asset management requires a risk-based approach that considers potential hazards and threats to assets. This can include conducting risk assessments and implementing strategies to minimize risks and ensure the safety of assets.
Performance Monitoring
Infrastructure asset management requires a long-term approach, considering the full life cycle of assets from design and construction to decommissioning. Effective planning can help to optimize asset performance, reduce maintenance costs, and extend asset life.
Stake Holder Engagement
Effective infrastructure asset management requires engagement and collaboration with stakeholders, including government agencies, private sector partners, and the public. This can help to ensure that assets are meeting the needs of all stakeholders and that decisions are made with input from all relevant parties.
Overall, the best practice for infrastructure asset management requires a holistic approach that considers the full life cycle of assets and involves ongoing monitoring, risk management, stakeholder engagement, and effective planning.

F.A.Q.
Here are some questions we usually get from our clients. If you can't find the answer to what you are looking for, do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
Digital Twin technology has advanced considerably in the past few years. We can offer 3D models that are accurate to within 1mm. Our interactive 3D models allow users to easily take their own measurements and inspect assets visually in detail as if you were actually on-site!
Digital twins are highly accurate representations of physical objects. These models use real-time data from imagery captured by us – whether it have been captured by our drones or ground-based capture methods. The aim is to generate a complete digital replica of the object.
Furthermore, we are able to build BIM models from the data we capture which can be exported into all the main formats used by industry leaders such as Revit, CAD, etc.
Some of the key benefits of digital twins include improved efficiency and cost savings. For example, digital twins can be used to test different scenarios and optimize performance before making any changes to the real-world object or system. This can save time and money by reducing downtime, improving productivity, and avoiding costly mistakes.
Other benefits of digital twins include saving costs of physically visiting sites, being able to carry out a remote Multi Skilled Visit and that the data is accessible at any time.
Overall, the accuracy and benefits of digital twins make them an essential tool for businesses and organizations looking to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition.

Due to the accuracy, accessibility and cost-saving features of digital twins, many industries are able to benefit from the use digital twins:
- Telecommunications
- Construction
- Energy
- Farming
- Mining
Basically, any industries that need to assess the condition and audit inventory of physical assets can make use of digital twins.
The future of digital twins is bright, with many experts predicting that they will become an essential tool for businesses and organizations looking to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition. As technology continues to evolve, digital twins are likely to become even more sophisticated and accurate, enabling new and innovative applications across a wide range of industries.
In telecommunications, there are companies looking in to “digitising” their entire network of telecoms sites and assets right down to nuts and bolts and are even planning to install sensors so that the whole network can be inspected in realtime.
Otherwise known as rMSV’s, Remote Multi-Skilled Site Visits replace the need to physically visit a site. Using telecommunications as an example, an MSV would involve several members of a team visiting a site at the same time. They would include radio planners, site designers, acquisitions, landlords, planning, technicians, etc.
That takes a lot of time to plan and travel to each site! By carrying out MSV’s remotely, it can result in huge cost savings and allows companies to carry out even more MSV’s from the comfort of your own conference room.
Our services can be completely adaptable to your needs so get in touch to book a call and see how we can tailor a digital twin solution to suit your requirements.
