Department of Telecommunications: DoT creating digital twin
of real assets to unlock monetisation opportunities
Extract:
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is
embarking on a groundbreaking initiative called Sangam Digital Twin.
This initiative aims to harness the power of 5G, the
internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented/virtual
reality (AR/VR) to create a metaverse of real-world assets presented as a
simulated environment.
By developing digital twins of physical assets, DoT seeks
to unlock new opportunities for monetization through enhanced insights and
innovative applications in various sectors.
The fusion of technologies in the Sangam Digital
Twin initiative will enable the creation of three-dimensional (3D) digital
replicas that provide real-time data and insights into the performance,
functionality, and profitability of tangible assets, including entire cities.
By leveraging these digital twins, policymakers can make
informed decisions to improve urban governance, optimize city infrastructure
planning, and drive cost efficiencies.
Industry leaders like Genesys are at the forefront of this
transformation, aiming to cover the top 20 cities in India within the next
12-18 months, facilitated by India's progressive geospatial policies that
support data collection and content creation.
My Take:
Malik: The Mapping Magician….04/05/2023
"Reflecting on my blog post about
the digital twin initiatives in India from years ago, it's fascinating to
witness the rapid progress and ambitious goals set by organizations like
Genesys.
The concept of digital twins for cities
is now becoming a reality, with major cities in India on the path to being
replicated virtually for improved governance and infrastructure planning. The
convergence of technologies like AI, IoT, and AR/VR is truly reshaping the
urban landscape."
Dear
Shri Nitin Gadkariji - ChatGPT…..18/09/2023
"In a similar vein to the
innovations discussed with the development of digital twins, the conversation
around leveraging advanced technologies for urban planning and infrastructure
development is gaining more traction.
The Sangam Digital Twin initiative echoes
the need for forward-looking policies and technological advancements to drive
sustainable growth and efficiency in urban environments.
It's crucial for policymakers and
industry leaders to collaborate closely to realize the full potential of such
transformative initiatives."
Call to Action:
To the Department of Telecommunications and
industry stakeholders involved in the Sangam Digital Twin project: Let's ensure
transparency and inclusivity in the deployment of digital twin technologies for
real assets.
Engaging with urban planners, citizens, and experts will
help maximize the benefits of this initiative and ensure its positive impact on
society and the economy.
