Digital twins helping public safety teams
One issue facing first responders today is the lack of accurate and timely information about a building they are about to enter and the emergency they are responding to. Knowing exactly where they and others are located is critical to safety. Smart building digital twin technology is helping them to respond faster, with more information to achieve significant outcomes, including saving lives.
Smart building systems can send a first responder accurate information, such as where the fire is in the building, how big the flames are, and information about chemicals that may be stored close to the fire. Information from motion sensors, heat sensors, video cameras, biochemical sensors, and other smart IoT devices can be delivered directly to first responders while traveling to the building and during their time in the building.
Other benefits and uses of smart building digital twin technologies include the following:
