South Korean firm Pluxity has introduced its latest smart building management platform based on digital-twin technology.

The company has provided digital-twin technology used in Seoul City, Busan City, Incheon International Airport, and a newly built city in Turkmenistan.

Plug-platform is an integrated controller for smart buildings based on 3D virtualisation modelling. By integrating controls of all building functionalities such as lighting, environmental sensors and electric power, as well as closed-circuit TVs and access control devices, the platform allows operators to supervise everything on a 3D map, thereby assisting quick view and decision-making for the high-level manager.

“As the interest in the smart city is heightening, the reputation of our technology is rising,” said a Pluxity official. “We will do our best in accelerating R&D activities so that our digital-twin technology can play an important role in smart building projects across the world.”

Pluxity was selected as one of the best-performing companies in the second annual World Smart City Week in 2018 and received an award from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure & Transport. In June 2020, the company signed an agreement with Hoban Construction to invest in digital-twin technology and work together to develop it further.

Digital-twin technology copies a city, product, factory or building in digital forms so the copy can be used to prevent disasters and improve productivity. The technology was selected as one of the top-ten Korean New Deal projects announced in 2020.
