Between labor shortages and supply chain issues, the warehouse industry is under considerable pressure right now. Production lines are struggling to keep up with demand and rarely possess enough staff to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions. To keep up, warehouses need to look towards automation and new technology to help fill the gaps in […]

Using digital twins, one can enable AI to better interpret and train algorithms to manage building energy. One of the greatest hurdles in use of AI is cleaning the data to train the algorithm well. Digital twins allow the user to engage with the data to ensure its validity prior to AI training, creating a […]

There are major opportunities to reduce emissions from buildings via greater energy efficiency through the use of technology. Capitalizing on those opportunities requires aligning incentives among builders, owners, and tenants to favor upfront fees and the implementation of varying technologies that reduce both emissions and long-term costs. In this session, our speakers will explain how […]

The concept of digital twins has been around since the 1970s, but more recently we’ve started to see rapid adoption of the technology in a number of scenarios. With organizations in energy, transport, manufacturing, medicine and others creating digital twins to help understand how specific processes, instruments, even people will react to changing situations. What […]

The Department of Energy reports that businesses, federal, state, and local governments own, operate, and use 93 billion square feet of U.S. real estate and account for 18 percent of U.S. primary energy use—more than all of Canada’s energy consumption. As a result, governments and private institutions are targeting commercial buildings, enacting legislation, and creating […]

What are digital twins? Digital twins are digital representations of physical objects. In simple cases, sensors for example, the digital representations may be trivial (e.g., current values for temperature, RPMs, etc.). More interesting cases involve complex, and usually expensive, capital assets such as diesel engines, turbines, and heavy duty mining and construction equipment. In these […]
