Nemetschek Group launches dTwin, the first horizontal and open digital twin platform

This is the first solution dedicated to the construction sector that merges all data sources for a building into a single overview.

dTwin, the data-driven digital twin solution

From the planning and operation of a building to its construction, enormous amounts of data are created by multiple stakeholders. However, this valuable information remains mostly siled and therefore becomes inaccessible throughout the life cycle of a building. This results in major inefficiencies due to constant and tedious rework. In addition to this, outdated and incomplete information leads to faulty and error-prone decisions that negatively affect building performance and increase operational costs..

The new dTwin solution from Nemetschek Group brings together all relevant information from:

• CAD/BIM,
• Management systems integrated into the workplace: IWMS[1],
• Real-time feeds of construction operations
• From all other sources that can be connected via the open API interfaces.

This bridges the gap between design, construction and operations and produces a true approach to Building Lifecycle Intelligence focused on open data.

For César Flores Rodríguez, Chief Division Officer Planning & Design and Digital Twin at the Nemetschek Group: « Our new dTwin digital twin solution significantly improves visibility, efficiency and enables data-driven decision making. The integration of different data sources in dTwin is an important differentiator compared to other solutions on the market. »

For Dr. Jimmy Abualdenien, Head of Digital Twin Product within the Nemetschek group: « dTwin intelligently structures information and links it correctly between systems, throughout the entire lifecycle of a building. The advantage is having a harmonized flow of information from various data sources. »

Obtain a digital replica of a building

A digital twin is a digital replica of a physical asset, whether a component, a system or an entire building. More importantly, the virtual replica is continuously fed with real-time information from the physical object, reflecting its current state. Thus, a digital twin not only enables precise visualizations, but also analyses, simulations and optimizations.

With dTwin, professionals can efficiently track, filter and query all relevant information and draw tailored conclusions.

Real-time dashboards deliver comprehensive operational insights and reports, providing project insights and analysis to various stakeholders – from AEC service providers to operators and owners.
