Incorporating the Digital into Bridge Asset Management
- The transition from paper based bridge asset management to Excel was considered to be a major breakthrough, when it occurred over 30 years ago.
- With developments in computing power, digital twins and artificial intelligence, we should be in a utopia of digital asset management.
- Unfortunately there are still horror stories of millions being wasted on clunky digital “solutions” are still occurring.
- This workshop session will present an overview of the opportunities and challenges relating to the implementation of a digital bridge asset management system, asset owners experiences, introducing digital twin maturity levels, and examples of successful development and implementations of fit for purpose solutions using proprietary software packages.
- The workshop will also have breakout sessions for the attendees to discuss and consider the different topics, with the aim to better understand the benefits of incorporating digital solutions within a bridge asset management context.
