Genesys’s 3D- Digital Twin
Virtualize and Analyse the Real World
Introduction:
Digital twins are virtual representations of actual objects, activities, or systems that enable real-time performance optimization and simulation. They are among the foundational technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, which makes use of automation, digitalization, and data-driven intelligence.
We are currently on the brink of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 with almost all major industries utilizing digital data to enhance their operations. With the advent of technologies such as AI, ML, IoT and cloud computing, 3D Digital Twin can serve as the reliable platform that can integrate all these technologies in one place.
What can it do?
Climate change, global warming, resource depletion, and rapid urbanization are a few of the issues that the world is facing on a global scale. Developing nations like India are especially more vulnerable to such problems due to a lack of reliable data and efficient policy implementation. This is exactly where 3D Digital Twins steps in to make urban cities more resilient with accurate engineering grade 3D Data for better urban planning as well real-time monitoring of environmental factors natural hazards that might affect a city.
Reality modelling is just the initial phase of a 3D Digital Twin, with additional features such as overlaying of attribute data, analysis and simulation tools, IoT data integration, AI & ML predictive algorithms, 3D Digital Twins has the potential to be the bedrock platform for any smart city application as well as upcoming technologies like autonomous vehicles and AR/VR applications.

Data enriched 3D Digital Twins will greatly benefit governments and policymakers in assessing the impact of any urban planning decision through simulation scenarios. Risk mitigation plans for any natural disaster can also be efficiently prepared and tested. Apart from big scenarios, even the daily operations of a city can be effectively managed via the Digital Twin platform
-
Several industries can leverage 3D Digital Twin technology to their advantage such as telecommunications for network analysis and placement of cell towers, real estate for a better location and investment analysis, all smart city applications, utilities management, AR/VR applications, retail businesses for delivery and inventory management, renewable energy sector for suitability analysis, logistics management and insurance risk assessment being some of them. These applications are projected to grow further in the future as novel use cases keep emerging.
