Autodesk has announced the commercial availability of its cloud-based digital twin platform, Autodesk Tandem, following its successful public beta.
As plans and files change throughout the design and construction process, keeping data together is challenging. A recent FMI report revealed that more than 95 percent of all data goes unused in engineering and construction, which results in inefficient processes and lost revenue for AEC firms and owners.
"Autodesk Tandem is a cloud-based digital twin technology platform that aims to turn that stat on its head," said Bob Bray, senior director and general manager, Autodesk Tandem. "It enables projects to start digital, stay digital, and deliver digital, transforming rich data into business intelligence."
By embracing digital transformation and harnessing BIM data throughout the design and construction process, AEC firms can create and handover a digital twin to customers. The easily accessible, contextual, and insightful data in a digital twin makes for ready-to-go operations.
