The digital twin is a digital replica of physical or non-physical objects. Digital twins can also represent processes or services. In manufacturing, for example, digital representations of machines throughout their lifecycle are an established practice, enabling more efficient, flexible, and faster production. In construction and smart building management, the digital twin serves as the foundation for automated processes, energy savings, and predictive maintenance. Implementing a digital twin involves collecting large volumes of data from the physical twin using IoT products and platforms, then processing the data in a clear, vendor-neutral, and standardized format. Based on this data, users can use the virtual model for simulations, identify and resolve functional errors, and make predictions about future behavior. Insights gained from the digital world can be applied directly to the real-world object. Building operators can monitor and control structures in real-time, enabling automated service processes in facility management. This forward-thinking technology for digitally replicating a building enables the integration of complex building structures in commercial properties and paves the way for new approaches to building optimization.

With the aedifion cloud platform, you can quickly and easily gain a holistic operational view of your building and create digital twins of your systems. Thanks to its smart plug-and-play approach, the platform allows you to bring your entire building technology into the cloud in no time, ensuring maximum data transparency. This enables you to reduce energy consumption and CO~2~ emissions as needed and automate processes with the help of artificial intelligence.
