Smart Infrastructure - Digital Twins

Horst Trattnig

Managing Director and CTO, Vallen Systeme GmbH

Abstract:

Maintaining the functionality and availability of our transportation networks is a growing challenge, requiring more digitally supported maintenance. To optimize this process and implement predictive analytics, we can leverage the power of digital twins.
 By moving toward the predictive maintenance approach, the validation of simulated, and real-world sensor data, are key to close the loop for the longevity of critical assets.

This presentation shows a digital twin implementation at an infrastructure. It provides insights into the implementation of a digital twin for the Köhlbrand Bridge in Hamburg / Germany, demonstrating how simulated and real-world data are processed to create a digital physical model.
