Defining the Motional Digital Twin: Unlocking Spatial Intelligence

What happens when you digitize movement itself? 

In this inaugural episode, we introduce the Motional Digital Twin (MDT), the definitive third generation in the evolution of Digital Twin technology. We explain why traditional Digital Twins, which focus on monitoring static assets, fail to address the critical operational "blind spot": the lack of visibility into the real-time movement of people and vehicles (physical flows).

An MDT is a real-time digital replica of a physical space, moving beyond static data to continuously track and analyze how every person and object moves and interacts within that environment.

Discover the two technological pillars that make this possible:

1. 3D Native Sensors (LiDAR): We delve into why LiDAR is the key enabling hardware, providing centimeter-level precision while guaranteeing privacy because it does not capture images or personally identifiable information.

2. Spatial AI: Learn how this set of artificial intelligence techniques processes raw 3D data into Spatial Intelligence—structured, actionable business insights that track individual journeys and behavior across the entire premises.

The MDT serves as the concrete medium that leverages this intelligence to achieve breakthrough improvements in day-to-day operations, efficiency, customer experience, and safety across major infrastructure worldwide
