INTRODUCTION

Applus+ is developing new services that focus on collecting, modelling and utilising high-quality digital twins for assets inspections. 'Digital twin’ refers to a virtual reality model capable of tracking the degradation of physical assets.

Using photogrammetry software, our specialist team can develop virtual models to suit a variety of requirements. Digital twins can be used to view scanned assets via a web browser or for the inspection of assets in a virtual reality environment. Our team offers custom reporting that allows direct interfacing into a client's database, further improving efficiency in the delivery of results. This digital solution allows the end-user to make informed decisions about real-world data through the use of virtual models.
