Digital Twin technology is a system that allows you to monitor processes and the condition of objects, predict their behavior and prevent industrial incidents. In the field of fire safety, this technology is used for disaster prevention at various facilities.
The use of digital twins in the automotive industry, aviation and urbanism has already proven its effectiveness in ensuring human safety. Currently, this technology is actively used in the field of fire safety.
How does digital simulation work and how does it affect security?
The technology of digital twins in fire safety is implemented in three stages:
Installation of a sensor system and sensors on a real object to evaluate the necessary parameters at any given time.
Creating an exact digital copy of an object in a virtual environment.
Establishing the transmission of a continuous stream of data from the physical sensors of an object to its digital counterpart.
The purpose of this process is to simulate the current state of an object in a virtual environment in order to timely identify design problems, optimize processes and draw up action plans based on up—to-date information.
Four main ways to use digital doubles in fire safety:
Design of fire safety systems.
Monitoring the condition of fire protection systems.
Data analysis and forecasting of possible fire scenarios.
Optimization of evacuation processes and interaction with fire services.
Advantages of implementing digital twin technology in fire safety:
Increasing the efficiency and reliability of fire safety systems.
Reducing the response time to fire situations.
Simplify planning and decision-making in case of fire.
However, the introduction of this technology is associated with some difficulties:
High start-up costs for specialized hardware and software.
The need for qualified specialists to manage digital doubles.
The complex integration of digital twins with real objects and their security systems.
In the long term, however, all these problems are offset by the benefits of using digital twin technology in fire safety.
