Description
Believe it or not, digital twins are more than just a buzzword! Owners are realizing there’s a lot more they can do with the (on average) 95%+ of design and construction data that goes to waste—and they’re turning to us to help them put that data to meaningful use. In this session, you’ll hear about some real-world case studies showcasing why digital twins are here to stay. Of course, the path to development and integration is never without bumps along the way. We’ll discuss common obstacles and challenges in getting started with digital twins, and we’ll evaluate the growing digital twin ecosystem with platforms like Autodesk Tandem technology, Esri ArcGIS, EcoDomus, Unreal Engine, and many others that can serve a variety of owner needs. Join this vibrant roundtable and share your thoughts and experiences with digital twins and digital transformation in general. Let’s discuss ways we can help transition our industry toward a better future!

Marin PastarMarin is a Registered Architect and Innovation & Technology expert. He started his professional career 20 years ago as a technical production architect and a project manager. Through his personal practice and project experience, he realized how disjointed the Design and Construction industry is, and the vast amount of room for process improvement. As a result of his efforts to connect the AEC industry and improve his own projects, his career evolved towards Technology & Innovation. Throughout his career, he led all aspects of Project Delivery from Design, Visualization and VR/AR, Reality Capture and UAS systems, to streamlining AEC Workflows from Planning, Design and Construction, into Facility Management and Operations. He is a strong advocate for the Owners, striving to eliminate the costly duplication of efforts in project execution. In his current role at Jacobs, Marin focuses on leveraging his extensive AECO industry experience to help global project teams discern project technology & innovation constraints and opportunities. He is passionate about developing the most suitable project execution strategies that leverage advanced Virtual Design & Construction tools and workflows in innovative ways to help streamline the Design/Construction delivery, and achieve a digital handover of the Built Environment suitable for enhancing the Owner Asset Lifecycle Workflows through succesful implementation of Digital Twins.
