About the session

The digitisation of networks and assets is making huge volumes of data available to operators which, with the help of analytics, could enable transformations in efficiency, performance and cost reductions. Digital twins are creating opportunities for infrastructure providers to better understand their assets - and discussions have started about the creation of a UK wide digital twin, updated in real time. What could this mean for new and existing assets? And with greater collaboration and shared open data, what are the opportunities and challenges ahead?
