Autodesk and Windover: Digital Twin and Industry Convergence for Construction Success

This IDC Market Note provides our review and analysis of a recent Tufts University construction site visit, specifically the use of advanced digital technology to unify data, processes, and resources for better project outcomes."We have seen consistently in our research the accelerated use of cloud-based digital platforms and digital twins across the manufacturing, energy, and construction industries (and others) for more effective design, collaboration, and operation. What is perhaps most interesting to watch (as with the Tufts University construction project) is the convergence of industries: that is, the use of technologies and strategies that have worked well in one industry, applied to another," said Jeff Hojlo, research vice president, IDC's Industry Ecosystem Strategies and IDC Manufacturing Insights.
