# Asset Digital Twin

> The digital twin of your assets made simple.

An Asset Digital Twin is the digital replica of a building or infrastructure in operation, connected to its real data. It enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and optimization of asset performance throughout the life cycle.

By analyzing data from sensors embedded in the asset, it detects anomalies, predicts failures and recommends maintenance actions. It improves operational efficiency, reduces downtime and supports asset and portfolio management.

At Prato hospital, 540 beds managed by Pizzarotti for 25 years, BIMON created the digital model of the building and all its MEP systems and connected it to the hospital's management system to cut energy consumption and maintenance work.

## Data & Analytics Management

Interactive navigation and querying of the available data, and creation of new data, to monitor the performance of an asset against architectural, environmental, urban planning and energy targets.

Services: Data Visualization, Data Analysis

## Asset Digitalization

Asset digitalization turns physical assets into digital assets that can be managed and optimized. Through data collection, digital modeling and advanced analytics, we provide a complete, real-time view of asset performance.

Services: BIM Modeling, Scan to BIM, BIM Validation, O&M Digital Twin

## BIM Automation

We conceive and design ready-to-use ad hoc tools based on the client's own standards and requirements. They reduce manual, repetitive actions on large amounts of data and objects and improve the quality of digital transformation processes.

Services: Informative Automation, Modeling Automation

## FAQ

**What is the difference between a BIM model and a digital twin?**

A BIM model describes the building: geometry, components, technical information. A digital twin connects that model to live operational data from the BMS, IoT sensors and maintenance systems, and updates over time. BIM is the starting point; the digital twin puts it to work.

**Can you build a digital twin of an existing building that has no BIM model?**

Yes. The starting point is a laser scan survey and Scan to BIM modeling of the existing state; operational data are connected afterwards. This is how BIMON digitizes existing buildings, such as the areas surveyed for Aeroporti di Roma at Fiumicino.

**Which systems connect to an asset digital twin?**

Typically the building BMS, IoT sensors and maintenance management systems. At Prato hospital the digital model was integrated with IoT and BMS data and piped into a data platform, where AI algorithms support predictive maintenance and energy savings.

**Who benefits from an asset digital twin?**

Owners, operators and concessionaires who run an asset for many years: project-financed hospitals, airports, campuses, large office and mixed-use complexes. The longer the operating period, the more the collected data are worth.
