The global
GIS market is anticipated to reach USD 14.5 billion by 2025. Major factors bolstering the growth of this market include increasing investments in modern
Geographic Information System solutions, development, and investments in smart cities. Other factors include the growing accessibility of spatial data & cloud technology and the integration of geospatial technology with mainstream technologies for BI.
Most enterprises that are moving towards digital transformation have created a digital twin of their facilities/operations and their next important step is to connect these digital twins to other systems. This is a move that enterprises can achieve by leveraging GIS (geographic information system). To deploy a digital twin successfully we have to extend a GIS. This technology is known for sending location intelligence across an enterprise’s domain, which was reported by a recent VentureBeat article.
Dimension India GIS - a GIS solution company that renders various services in the GIS space such as GIS Mapping & outsourcing. The company endeavors to optimize the efficiency of businesses by using GIS solutions for the decision-making process & planning, which is carried out by integrating information from multiple resources.
What Digital twins that are built leveraging a GIS software can do is store, integrate as well as analyze data that is keyed to the critical factor of location. And, this information can be projected as different layers on a digital map and it can also be observed through dashboards or even modeled as digital twins. Geographic Information Systems help users to see patterns, as well as add information that includes demographics/consumer behavior & gain important insights.
Conceptually it constitutes a great leap forward since digital twins are mainly powered by Geographic Information Systems that render radically enhanced contextual awareness and these include:
A digital twin is utilized by government facilities in their buildings & campuses for supporting real-time requirements. These include security & maintenance and long-term issues, like sustainability & flood management. In hospitals, digital twins are used for immediate resource allocation, and even the current traffic in the emergency room is reflected by the twin.
Digital twins are used by utilities for monitoring & visualizing large networks of power lines, risk mitigation gas & water assets for maintenance & other business needs.
Esri’s ArcGIS location technology helps in creating a framework for bringing data together. This is later used for location & for accurately deploying big data intelligently against real-world issues.
