Designing and Implementing Aronia Digital Twin Platform with BIM, Laser Scanning, BMS, IoT, and Advanced Data Technologies
Design Phase
Initiating with precise laser scanning, the design phase meticulously documents the mechanical room to produce a high-fidelity point cloud. This data is transformed into a detailed 3D BIM model, which acts as a comprehensive blueprint, enriched with Semantic Web annotations that imbue the data with meaning and context, facilitating richer interaction and interoperability.
Data Enrichment
The incorporation of Semantic Web technology and Linked Data principles allows for the establishment of a common framework that promotes data sharing and reuse across varied data systems. This is crucial for linking the mechanical components’ data within the BIM model to external datasets, creating a unified, semantically-rich repository of information.
Implementation Phase
The implementation phase sees the convergence of the BIM model with real-time data inputs from BMS and IoT devices. These inputs are enhanced by Knowledge Graphs that structure data relationships and enable advanced analytics, providing a multi-dimensional view of the mechanical systems’ performance and interactions.
Intelligent Operation
By applying these advanced data technologies, the digital twin becomes an intelligent entity capable of complex understanding and decision-making. It facilitates:
- Automated reasoning over mechanical components and their operation
- Dynamic updates and insights generated from continuous data flow
- Advanced simulation capabilities for scenario testing and prediction
- Enhanced information retrieval and decision support through semantically-enabled queries.
With the integration of Semantic Web technology, Linked Data, and Knowledge Graphs, the Aronia Digital Twin Platform doesn’t just replicate the mechanical room’s physical presence; it augments it with deep, actionable intelligence, providing a comprehensive and responsive digital reflection of the real-world environment.

The Conservatorio di Musica Cagliari
A historic 100-year-old music conservatory in Italy, has been digitally preserved using advanced Laser Scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques. Laser scanning captured the building’s intricate details with high precision, efficiency, and safety. This data, represented as a point cloud, was then converted into a 3D BIM model, incorporating existing 2D drawings. The outcome offers a comprehensive digital representation of the Conservatorio, aiding preservation, restoration, and interactive exploration for future generations.
