Page Content

Today, digital twins can leverage static and live data streams such as SCADA, IoT, and AMR/AMI data to more precisely describe system performance, enable insights, and drive actionable outcomes for users. Digital twins can also be effectively used to leverage the power of artificial intelligence for improved decision-making.

Operators are leveraging the benefits of a digital twin of their system. Models run in the control room can be used to test responses to emergencies such as fires, pipe breaks, and power outages. Before or during an emergency, operators can contact engineers and request that they model scenarios to help respond with current challenges.

What is a Digital Twin for Water

A digital, dynamic system of real-world entities and their behaviors using models with static and dynamic data that enable insights and interactions to drive actionable and optimized outcomes.

Applications of Digital Twins

The value of digital twins can be realized across the complete water cycle, and across the complete asset lifecycle. From planning and modeling, to design, construction and operations applications, digital twins are being used. Examples include real-time operational optimization twins, construction progress twins, and asset health twins.
