Digital Twins Bring Values to Utilities

Our world is transforming and rapidly becoming digital. Digital twins are abstracting and modeling everything. They improve business processes, reduce risk, optimize operational efficiencies, and enhance decision-making with automation to predict outcomes. Digital twins provide greater context to solve business challenges by creating relationships and streamlining workflows. Geographic information system (GIS) technology is foundational for any digital twin. Esri’s geospatial technology interconnects information, systems, models, and behaviors with spatial context, creating holistic digital representations of environments, assets, utilities (Electric, Water, Telco) networks, and cities.

Digital twins are an integration of information technology, operational technology, and engineering technology. The amount of information within digital twins provides unlimited possibilities.

The visualization and analysis capabilities of ArcGIS in a digital twin help utilities plan investments by providing insight into different system scenarios and the impacts they may have. Easy access to data allows decisions to be made more quickly. Digital twins help with operator training and workflow efficiency. Data feeds from real-time IoT devices are easier to manage within a digital twin, formatting and displaying information in ways that bring value to the organization. Improved mapping and 3D modeling help to manage facilities and vertical assets. Digital twins enable interaction and collaboration across multiple departments improving communication with stakeholders.
