TWINSA

The TWINSA (Adaptive Digital Twin with Smart Adapter) system consists of two key components: Adaptive Digital Twin and Smart Adapter.

The Adaptive Digital Twin translates the boundary conditions of monitored structures into insights about load distribution and internal forces, filling a critical gap in traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems. Through Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-based inversion, it corrects false assumptions made during the design stage and updates the structure's mechanical model, enabling a reliable evaluation of structures using updated safety factors. With reliable assessment, adaptive physical interventions can be made to optimize load distribution and internal forces throughout the structure’s lifecycle, transforming them into Adaptive Structures. This enhances safety, longevity, and resilience, while reducing both initial investment and long-term operational costs, lowering carbon emissions, and ultimately increasing return on investment (ROI).

The Twin is powered by Smart Adapters, integrated into bearings (BearingSmart),cables(CableSmart), and bolts (BoltSmart) to monitor and manage the mechanical state of critical connectors in structures. The Smart Adapter features the world’s first in-situ load measurement and calibration technology—a metrological breakthrough that solves a longstanding global challenge in engineering: achieving accurate, full-lifecycle load measurement of structural boundary conditions.
