Transforming Bridge Management with Digital Twin Technology
Bentley Systems offers the OpenRail solution to revolutionize traditional bridge management by integrating digital twin technology and workflows. With OpenRail, bridge owners and their supply chains can utilize iTwin Capture to efficiently generate 3D engineering-ready reality meshes and point clouds of bridges using drones or cameras. This allows for the secure management and sharing of reality data to support analysis, validation, and delivery processes. Additionally, OpenRail enables the real-time collection of data from bridge sensors through iTwin IoT, providing valuable operational insights to enhance decision-making.
Enhancing Inspection Processes with Innovative Technology
OpenRail by Bentley Systems empowers users to augment inspection processes by leveraging reality meshes through iTwin Experience. This technology facilitates operational insights, virtualizes routine inspections, and streamlines collaboration efforts. By incorporating the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, OpenRail can help identify and classify defects for resolution. These insights can then be seamlessly integrated into engineering and design applications, making the overall inspection and rehabilitation processes more efficient and effective.
