Please join Mark Ricketson from the Massachusetts Port Authority as he discusses Digital Twins. The term ‘Digital Twin’ is used by many, but does everyone know what it means? Digital Twin can be defined very differently depending on your perspective; seaports, airports, buildings, outdoor facilities, etc. all have diverse viewpoints. Agencies have various use cases and are in different stages of the journey towards Digital Twin. We'll discuss the workflow from planning and design to operating and maintenance, and will look at digital twin as it relates to: early conceptual design, community/demographic makeup and alternatives, design & construction, 3D/4D/5D, and more.
