Transformation through Digitalisation

bob体育报道六角形地铁系统总统juergen dold呈现Transformation through Digitalisation在Intergeo，地理空间社区的中心活动，9月26日在柏林的Messe。

In his keynote address, he differentiated betweendigitising和digitalising, explaining how the former is merely converting information to digital formats while the latter is changing processes to develop connected ecosystems for future collaboration. Using Paul Simon’s song,你可以打电话给我, Dold set the stage for his comparisons, focusing on how just two letters – AL – will forever change the way industries work.

充分利用数字资源

Further explaining digitalisation as the strategy of adopting new technologies to make the most of the resources that are already available, he used the example of moving from the fax machine to the smart phone. With the digitalisation of apps and passcodes found in smart phones, automated transactions and processes are facilitated to make operations faster, easier and safer.

Further mitigating risks, he explained when travelling how border control has also transformed its processes. Instead of just paper passports for identification, biometrics, such as eye scans, can determine the true identify of a traveler. This can speed up immigration lines, decrease menacing individuals from entering regions and help protect nations.

Finally, in one of the most digitalised industries today, the financial sector is using data to become smarter, quicker and more secured in how it moves money. With new technologies, like facial recognition, transactions can occur easily without the need for cash or credit cards.

“Suddenly data is available and people are willing to provide that information to make their lives faster and easier,”said Dold.“这改变了我们如何支付一切。”

创造巨大的潜力

Focusing on cities, he went on to share how Hexagon technologies are helping to digitise cities. Speaking to the barriers of technology where previously one had to have advanced degrees and significant resources, today technology is becoming more inclusive.

“捕获数字现实曾经是一个独家技术，最无法访问，只有几个高成本，”said Dold.“Today, though, we’re in a rapid evolution of sensor technology to apply it to many areas.”

这些领域之一是解放军智能城市nning and management. Providing the foundation for a smart city, he explained how combining the use of laser scanning, ground penetrating radar and mobile mapping technologies are bringing above- and below-ground structures into a digital reality so urban planners, city managers and other professionals can make their cities more efficient and better organised for residents and visitors.

“Suddenly we’re fusing this data from different sensors to get a street view we’ve never had before,”said Dold.“我们现在可以理解资产不仅在街上之上，而且可以在街道之下。这是一个数据集，不仅对一个城市的一个部门相关和有价值，而且是多个部门。您只驱动一次创建帮助许多信息的信息。“

Another areaHexagon is focusing on is the construction industry. This sector could greatly benefit from digitalisation strategies. Considering that global construction productivity has declined with 80 per cent of projects over budget and typically taking 20 per cent longer to finish than scheduled, disitalising construction would translate into significant time and cost savings. Dold went on to explain how Hexagon construction progress documentation and laser scanning technologies are helping bring digitalisation to this industry at all stages.

“Digitalisation touches every phase of a construction project ecosystem from design to plan to construction through execution,”he said.“成功转换为所有关键元素的数字化，因此所有流程都可以连接以进行协作。”

Smart use of big data

2.5 quintillion (19 digits).

This is the number of bytes of data created每天.

During his presentation, he claimed it’s not just about how big the data is, how much of it we have, but how smart the data is, how we use it.

“Digitising means how we make it digital. Digitalisation means how we convert the data so we can use it in collaborative platforms,”解释了Dold。“At Hexagon, we are driving this with simplicity through visualisation, augmenting intelligence, and connecting the data in new ecosystems.”

DOLD继续预测，由于一切都成为3D，新一代甚至不会被新一代理解2D。他用空气传播的现实捕获了这个理论，为里约热内卢的城市模型，分享人们现在如何数字地探bob综合app赌博索任何城市。他还分享了增强现实的进一步是如何进一步的这些新旅游。在RIO的3D模型上显示覆盖的热图​​，他展示了公共安全官员如何为大型活动进行紧急计划，如去年城市举办的奥运会和世界杯。

生活在分享经济中

证明需要共享数据和备用ion, Dold asked the audience ‘what if’. What if you could simulate all the possible risks and scenarios to avoid accidents? What if you were in charge of approving the routes of oversized trucks to travel through a city? What if you could digitally drive that truck through the city and see if there would be any spots where collisions would happen, like overpasses and curves?

This is all possible in a sharing economy. When a logistics company shares the dimensions of the truck with a city manager who has the dimensions of the roads in a digital twin, collisions can be avoided. This is an example of how digitalisation is changing how entities work together and become more efficient and safe.

“The key to digitalisation is not only how to apply new technologies … it’s also about rethinking the ecosystem, which involves changing mindsets,”said Dold.“我确信我们将与许多学科共享数据，打破筒仓以推动负担能力和可用性，因此生态系统为每个人提供了福利。拥有数据的传统模型将是过去的一件事，我们将向前迈向订阅模型，我们将从更多和更新的数据中受益。“

我们可以，如果我们不能因为

To finish his keynote, he challenged the audience to explore what was holding the industry back from fulling embracing digitalisation. Using a reservoir as a visual aid, he described how the technologies and possibilities already exist as the water source, but as the dam holds the water back, so does fear, inflexibility and outlived policies hold back the full potential of digitalisation.

“我们需要[设定行业的方向]以”我们可以“而不是'我们不能因为，'而”，“concluded Dold.“我们的责任是行业领导者，使数字化实现现实，以提取数字化的价值，并创造一种变革的遗产，使世界成为一个更好的地方。”
