Digital Twin How does it work

The Digital Twin: How 3D is created and AI advantages

At NewChangerTech, we are committed to advancing the capabilities of digital twin technology through our cutting-edge 3D4U Management Framework. This innovative platform serves as the backbone for two of our most powerful solutions: Cell Tower-AI and Fiber Network-AI. These solutions are designed to revolutionize the planning, construction, and maintenance of critical infrastructure by integrating AI, GIS, 3D imaging, and Augmented Reality (AR).

What is the Digital Twin?

A Digital Twin is a dynamic, virtual replica of a physical object, system, or process that is updated in real-time with data from its real-world counterpart. This technology allows engineers, managers, and network owners to monitor, analyze, and optimize their assets continuously, leading to more informed decision-making and improved operational efficiency.

Introducing 3D4U: A Comprehensive Management Framework

The 3D4U Management Framework is designed to support the entire lifecycle of infrastructure assets, from initial planning and design through to construction, maintenance, and operations. Our framework provides a seamless integration of advanced technologies, ensuring that your digital twin accurately reflects the physical world.

Cell Tower-AI: This solution is specifically tailored for the management of cell tower infrastructure. By utilizing AI-driven analytics, GIS mapping, and 3D imaging, Cell Tower-AI offers a comprehensive toolset for digitalizing, inspecting, maintaining, and managing cell tower assets. It significantly reduces the need for physical inspections, leveraging drone imagery to create accurate 3D models that can be remotely analyzed.
Fiber Network-AI: Designed for optical fiber networks, this solution automates the entire process of network planning and maintenance. The AI capabilities within Fiber Network-AI enable automatic recognition of street objects, buildings, and infrastructure elements, as well as the calculation of network costs and the creation of detailed network designs. Augmented Reality further enhances the capability to visualize and interact with the network, even after installation.

Multi-Platform, Multi-Device Compatibility

Our software solutions are designed to be versatile and user-friendly, supporting a wide range of devices including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop/laptop computers. This multi-platform approach ensures that your team can access and interact with the digital twin from anywhere, on any device. Moreover, 3D4U is fully compatible with existing asset management systems, making integration smooth and hassle-free.

Flexible Data Input and Easy 3D Capture

One of the standout features of our 3D4U Management Framework is its flexibility in data input. Whether you are using a digital camera, mobile device, drone, Lidar, or infrared (IR) technology, our system can seamlessly integrate these data sources to create a highly accurate 3D representation of your assets.

For example:

Buildings and Street Objects: Our proprietary mobile app allows users to capture 3D images of buildings, street objects, and industrial sites without requiring specialized training.
Cell Towers: A modern drone equipped with a standard high-resolution camera is all that’s needed to capture the necessary images. Our software then processes these images to create a 3D model with precise GEO location and dimensions.

AI in Fiber Network-AI: Automating Planning and Maintenance

In Fiber Network-AI, AI plays a crucial role in automating several aspects of network planning and maintenance:

Street Surveys: AI automatically recognizes objects such as manholes, cabinets, and poles, as well as house dimensions, building types, and street surfaces. This data is used to generate accurate network designs and cost estimates.
Historical Data Storage: During network construction, images of trenches, manholes, aerial installations, and facades are captured and stored. This data is then displayed in 3D and augmented reality, providing a detailed historical record of the network.
Augmented Reality Visualization: AR enables users to visualize the exact location, depth, and dimensions of the network, even when it is underground. The historical 3D world can be projected onto the current view through a mobile or tablet camera, enhancing decision-making and troubleshooting.

AI in Cell Tower-AI: Enhancing Inspections and Maintenance

Cell Tower-AI utilizes AI to streamline and improve the inspection and maintenance processes:

Object Recognition: AI identifies and catalogs equipment within the cell tower and equipment rooms, including brand, type, dimensions, and available slots.
Corrosion and Quality Monitoring: By comparing current images with historical data, the AI detects signs of corrosion, installation changes, and other quality issues, automatically generating alerts for maintenance and operations.
Remote Inspections: The high-resolution 3D models created by Cell Tower-AI allow for detailed remote inspections, reducing the need for on-site visits and minimizing the risks associated with climbing towers for inspections.
