- This initiative is a Proof of Concept focused on revolutionizing the planning & design of infrastructure.
- It aims at combining the prowess of Digital Twin and Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, 5G, 6G, and next-gen computational technologies.
- It brings all stakeholders on one platform to demonstrate practical implementation of innovative infrastructure planning solutions.
- It is to be conducted in one of the major cities of India in two stages i.e. Exploration stage and Demonstration stage.
- Digital Twin is a virtual model designed to accurately reflect a real-world physical object.
- It spans the object's lifecycle and uses real-time data sent from sensors to simulate the behavior and monitor operations, thus helping decision making.
- Digital twins differ from simulations in its large scale and two-way flow of information.
- Digital twins are already being used in power generation equipment, large physical structures, manufacturing operations, healthcare services and automotive industry.
- Significance of Digital twins
- Remote monitoring makes it viable for usage in hazardous operations
- Better predictions helping in policy decisions
- Improvement in operational efficiency thereby maintaining the output quality
- Aid in Urban planning by creating different simulations and forecasting
Recently, a private company has created digital twin of Hyderabad’s 16th century Qutub Shahi tombs using drone scanners.
