Welcome to the Twelve Days of CADD Care!
On the first day of CADD Care, the CADD team gave to me… a Digital Twin Solution!
When facility owners and operators embrace BIM, they can benefit from enhanced transparency, improved decision-making, and increased operational efficiency using Autodesk Tandem. The definition of a digital twin can vary, but here at CADD Microsystems, we define it as:
- Digital replica of a facility that can dynamically update (stay in sync) with changes
- Database that brings together design, construction, and operational data
- Data-rich living as-built
With the handover deliverable for Operations becoming increasingly a model deliverable, Autodesk Tandem allows for a digital twin to become a reality. With the right pre-requisites in place, such as BIM standards and a BIM execution plan, the solution provides a seamless capability to establish and manage your facilities in a digitized format in the following ways:
- Establish Facilities – Provide visibility into each facility by inviting internal and external resources
- Manage Assets – Establish classifications and parameters to effectively maintain your assets
- Data Management – Manage data through Excel and Revit plugins
- Building Systems – Efficiently navigate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Data Streams – Connect to IoT sensors for real-time monitoring of facility conditions
- Integrations – Supplement your digital twins with existing systems e.g., CMMS and IWMS
- Space Management – Categorize rooms and areas
- Reporting – Establish charts and dashboards for meaningful insight into facility performance
As facility owners and operators, you may be trying to achieve several outcomes. Whether it be operational efficiency, safety, sustainability, portfolio performance, or capital planning, Autodesk Tandem is a great place to begin your digital twin journey!
