SAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) announced the
commercial availability of its cloud-based digital twin platform,
Autodesk Tandem, following its successful public beta.
As plans and files change throughout the design and construction
process, keeping data together is challenging. A recent FMI report
reveals that more than 95 percent of all data goes unused in
engineering and construction, which results in inefficient
processes and lost revenue for AEC firms and owners.
"Autodesk Tandem is a cloud-based digital twin technology
platform that aims to turn that stat on its head," said
Bob Bray, senior director and
general manager, Autodesk Tandem. "It enables projects to
start digital, stay digital, and deliver digital, transforming rich
data into business intelligence."
By embracing digital transformation and harnessing Building
Information Modeling (BIM) data throughout the design and
construction process, AEC firms can create and handover a
digital twin to customers. The easily accessible,
contextual, and insightful data in a digital twin makes for
ready-to-go operations.
AEC Firms Strive to Delight, Deliver Value to Owners
When a team starts a project with Autodesk Tandem, they consider
operations from the beginning. They also avoid delivering quickly
outdated, static data at project handover.
"Our design teams are working with our clients to improve their
operations and facility management. The focus is on creating an
easier digital handover process, and better management of their
assets," said Damir Jaksic, CIO, KEO
International Consultants. "We truly see the promise of Autodesk
Tandem to transform our outcome-based business model. Starting with
the end of the project in mind makes it easier to capture the data
required for efficient building management."
Autodesk Tandem can gather all the information about a building,
its systems and critical equipment in both tabular and 3D
representations. Building operators and facilities managers can
then find the information they're looking for when responding to
operational issues to keep proper maintenance. This insight tells
them what to expect when they arrive at the maintenance location
and helps them understand how work on one system may impact
another.
"We are seeing a growing awareness from our customers of the
value of asset information and the insights it provides. Digital
Twin platforms represent a real change in the way we and our
customers think about the creation, validation and operational life
of asset information," said Andrew
Field, principal, asset and digital advisory, Beca.
"Autodesk Tandem will help improve long term asset performance and
decision-making. It's the bridge between the creation of assets,
and the handover of asset information to our customers."
Autodesk Tandem Promotes Operational Readiness
Over
its lifecycle, roughly 80 percent of the cost of a built asset is
realized in its operation. Digital twins created in Autodesk Tandem
are designed to improve operational efficiency and enable
predictive maintenance to prevent disruptions and reduce operating
costs.
Readily available data and a digital replica
of their facility
puts handover information at owners'
fingertips. This lets them focus their energy on operational
readiness, rather than turning documents back into useful data.
"AEC project teams using Autodesk Tandem will help
owners improve the occupant experience, and enable predictive
maintenance," said Bray. "A digital twin is synonymous with greater
ROI — it
gives owners unprecedented insight about the
operation, utilization, and performance
of their facilities."
This blog post explains digital twin technology and presents the
benefits digital twins offer the AEC industry. It also articulates
how Autodesk's recent acquisition of Innovyze accelerates
Autodesk's digital twin strategy and positions the company as a
global leader of digital end-to-end solutions from design to
operations of water infrastructure.
