Johnson Controls is putting your people, spaces and assets at the heart of safety, security and sustainability. With over a century of building experience, we are helping people imagine and anticipate unlimited outcomes by leveraging digital twin technology to improve the way we can plan and respond to events in real time.
OpenBlue Digital Twin is a managed service for the enablement and mapping of smart buildings by creating a digital replica of assets, processes, people, places, systems and devices. While harmonization and the linking of data is its primary use, twins are brought to life by creating a replica environment by leveraging data in and around the building. The buildings' digital twin includes the building structure, location, assets, people, as well as the past, present and future events related to the building and the environment.
Locations, Events, Assets and People come together with Johnson Control's Digital Twin as the Al-infused foundation to intelligent buildings.
Digital twins help organize and enrich multiple data silos to provide centralized context for your enterprise while maximizing value.
Al infusion across the data context and sources help to enable predictive outcomes in real time.
Using an API-driven approach, OpenBlue Digital Twin is developed on the building blocks of an open architecture. The brick standard is core to our interfaces and data structure.
Prediction: Digital Twins bring together all of the data necessary for predictive algorithms and artificial intelligence systems, from fault predictions on equipment to building utilization and optimization.
Operations: A digital twin of a building gives building managers and occupants a real-time view of the integrated systems of the building.
Cost reduction: Digital twins help buildings operate more efficiently by helping predict and avoid unexpected costs, identify system inefficiencies, and better estimate when replacement parts are needed.
Risk mitigation: Running simulations on a digital twin reduces risks and helps system engineers make better business cases for changes to the system. Experimenting on the digital twin also can help mitigate equipment downtime.
Understanding System Interactions: Digital twins from multiple systems and objects can be combined to better understand how they will interact with each other. This is particularly helpful when systems and products come from different suppliers.
Security: Digital Twins provide a real-time view of the building and its occupants while incorporating historic trend data. The digital twin can be used to highlight “abnormal” actions or events that could portend security issues.
OpenBlue Bridge is the live connection between the physical and digital replicas, enabling data exchange for seamless communication and action.
