in engineering software for professionals to design , build , operate and maintain critical infrastructure , such as roads and rail networks , or public works and utilities – it enables us to develop new smart city solutions and that builds a lot on some of the exciting work we ’ re doing in Digital Twins .”
These Digital Twins can help in a number of ways : reducing costs , helping with urban planning , and driving public engagement in projects such as high-speed rails or dams . “ It is just amazing how that work can be done with Digital Twins . I like watching Formula One racing , but actually the most valuable racing car is the Digital Twin racing car , because that ’ s the place where the teams can test numerous different scenarios and take them forward without destroying physical assets .
“ For me , these opportunities – particularly as we go more to the industrial metaverse and how we see the industrial metaverse in Digital Twin and the sensors of IoT sensors all coming together – will be somewhere where our expertise and the expertise of our partners such as Bentley will come together , making a real and huge difference to business and mission outcomes .”
