Operational Impact
The use of Bentley's iTwin Services and a connected data environment revolutionized Sweco NL's project delivery process. The digital twin approach enabled every team member to visualize and understand what changes were happening over time, see the impact on the design, and respond quickly and effectively. This resulted in measurable benefits in design review workflows by visualizing changes and leveraging insights to make informed decisions. The integrated digital solution allowed multiple disciplines across multiple locations and multiple vendors to seamlessly share and coordinate 3D models, streamlining design workflows. The digital twin also made it easier to share the project model with the client, meeting their expectations for an open platform that shows an up-to-date and complete model that they can look at from any laptop without requiring special software. Based on the success of this project, Sweco NL is embracing digital twins for future engineering initiatives, aiming to make digital twins using Bentley software business as usual. | |
