How are digital twins created?

Digital twins are created by capturing data from a physical asset or environment using reality capture technologies such as drones, LiDAR scanners, mobile mapping systems, or handheld devices like the XGRIDS PortalCam. The data is then processed into an accurate 3D model, which can be integrated with BIM, GIS, or asset management platforms to create a dynamic digital representation that supports planning, monitoring, and maintenance.
