Grounding Digital Twins in As-Built Reality

Tyler Wooten is the Co-Founder & Director of Technology at Focis AI, where he focuses on transforming 3D scan data into structured, queryable representations of industrial infrastructure. His work is centered on bridging the gap between digital models and real-world conditions, enabling digital twins that accurately reflect as-built environments. By aligning physical assets with digital systems, Tyler helps organizations improve inspection, maintenance, and engineering workflows through more reliable and actionable data.
 

In his session, Tyler will explore how digital twins can be grounded in as-built reality using 3D scan data and AI-driven structuring. He will highlight how converting physical infrastructure into queryable data enables digital twins to move beyond static models and become integrated, operational systems. The session will also address common challenges such as data drift, lack of maintenance, and poor integration with workflows, and demonstrate how building accurate, real-world aligned twins can support inspection, maintenance, and engineering processes more effectively.
