Create a foundation for living digital twins

ArcGIS is a leading geospatial system that enables 3D GIS. It includes an integrated 3D system of record that creates smart environments and provides a foundation for living digital twins.

Discover new dimensions of understanding with 3D GIS capabilities

Digital twins are representations of real-world objects and their processes and relationships. GIS technology supports digital twins for social, natural, and built environments by integrating a variety of digital content. Governments and private industries implement digital twins to automate and optimize critical systems and operations.

ArcGIS and its 3D capabilities enable digital twins by managing data, linking transactions, creating realistic visualisations, and performing analytics through an integrated 3D system of record. ArcGIS integrates information models with the context of location, which creates the foundation for living digital twins that foster sustainable workflows and addresses complex challenges.

Content and data management

ArcGIS supports a wide range of data formats and open standards to ensure interoperability across systems, software, and devices. Maximize the full potential of your data by gaining 3D spatial context to plan scenarios, deliver projects, and perform analysis with greater precision.
