What is a Digital Twin?

Data on particulate matter, noise, the shadow effect of a new residential tower... the world around us is producing more and more data. At Geodan, we turn all that separate data into useful information. And that’s not all. Bringing all that information together in one digital world even lets us create a replica of reality: We call it the Digital Twin.

Digital twins are becoming increasingly important because of the current challenges in spatial planning: infrastructure, the housing crisis, climate change and the energy transition. Given the complexity of all these developments, an integrated approach is needed.

Geodan Digital Twins support various challenges in the physical environment. Using smart models, we can quickly calculate the impact of all kinds of future plans and scenarios, and visualize them in 2D as well as 3D. In addition, the plans and various scenarios are automatically checked against current legislation and regulations.
