Many Canadian energy companies are becoming increasingly aware that their assets have outdated, incomplete, or entirely inaccurate site models and drawings. Instead of updating these records with time consuming traditional methods, forward thinking orgnizations are choosing more time-efficient and reliable methods by upgrading to full virtual system using digital twins.

A digital twin is a one-to-one representation of a real-world object or system. It is created using various geospatial and imaging technologies that measure and record the physical dimensions of your asset. The data is then processed into an exact digital replica of your asset that can then have additional information layers added such as P&ID and as-built packages, equipment tags, and design models.

Digital twins can be used for nearly every aspect of the energy industry, from situation modeling to asset management and maintenance predictions.
