Implementing an Asset Mgt and Operational Digital Twin at a Major Airport

Digital transformation is revolutionizing facility management, enabling organizations to optimize operations, manage assets efficiently, and enhance sustainability. Digital twins play a role by integrating real-time data, predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making. This session explores how a major international airport is using a digital twin to solve infrastructure challenges, improve efficiency, and enhance resilience. The airport faced fragmented data, inefficient maintenance workflows, and limited real-time asset visibility. By integrating GIS, IoT sensors, and enterprise asset management systems into a cloud-based digital twin, the airport streamlined operations, improved asset tracking, and enhanced maintenance planning. Attendees will learn how predictive analytics optimize resource allocation, minimize downtime, and support proactive decision-making. The twin combines GIS for asset mapping, BIM for 3D visualization, and IoT sensors for real-time monitoring. These technologies create a centralized, data-driven platform that enhances decision-making, facilitates predictive maintenance, and improves coordination across departments. By linking systems, facility managers access up-to-date asset conditions, track energy consumption, and proactively address maintenance issues before they escalate. This session will provide strategies for developing digital governance frameworks, integrating real-time monitoring with facility systems, and leveraging AI-driven insights for smarter asset management. Attendees will gain practical knowledge on deploying digital twins to eliminate data silos, modernize workflows, and reduce operational costs. Reducing costs will enable facility managers to meet the financial ROI expectations of P3 firms, investors, and owners and protect the investment over its lifespan. Facility managers and industry professionals will leave with actionable strategies to enhance efficiency, improve infrastructure management, and future-proof their facilities.
