Autodesk has been expanding its offerings in the construction and operation phase of projects in recent years, so its latest move into digital twins should come as no surprise. The company first announced Tandem, its digital twin coordination platform, at Autodesk University 2020. Tandem entered public beta earlier this month, allowing anyone to start building out digital twins of their Revit projects.
“Our AEC customer base sees a lot of opportunity to deliver more to their owners in terms of the data deliverable,” explains Robert Bray, senior director and general manager for Autodesk Tandem. “And beyond that handover, if this is a digital asset that reflects the as-built model, it can connect to operational systems and help answer the owner’s questions.”
