Impact of COVID-19 on Real Estate Industry and how Digital Twin Technology will reshape future decisions for building owners.
We are moving ever closer to a world where Digital Twins developed to aggregate, manage, analyze, visualize, and predict information for today’s smart cities, manufacturing plants, and building construction sites, can be successfully re-purposed to provide a unique information management solution to the current Covid-19 crisis, now and later.
COVID-19 has thrown up many economic challenges and one of the most profound impacts will be how we manage and track the virus so that we can continue to return safely into our urban environments and workplaces. Building owners need to fully understand these impacts and data points as it will have a profound effect on their future and present values.
