Digital Twin for Open Air
In the open-air sector, success depends on the ability to offer unique, personalised experiences to guests, while optimising resources to ensure an efficient and sustainable service.
Smart, well-organised management is essential to coordinate all the activities of the facility.
In this sector more than 50% of staff are seasonal, which makes training and keeping people up to date a complex challenge. To optimise time and resources, it becomes essential to adopt tools that simplify these processes.
The answer is the Digital Twin: a dynamic digital replica of the accommodation facility, able to collect, analyse and interpret real-time data on guests, rooms, equipment and staff.
By digitalising and optimising critical processes, it improves both operational efficiency and the guest experience.
What is a Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object or system, developed to support and optimise decision-making.
This technology can be applied to a wide range of things, from industrial machines to buildings, from bridges to digital representations of human beings.
Digital twins are usually based on data collected from sensors and other sources, making it possible to model, simulate, analyse and predict the behaviour and performance of systems in real time.
Taken together, digital twins are advanced tools for studying and interpreting how many kinds of systems work. This is why their use is spreading rapidly in very different sectors.
How does a Digital Twin work in open air?
It means having a digital copy of your facility that constantly collects and analyses data through technologies such as IoT, smart sensors and cloud computing.
With this information you always have an up-to-date view of the facility and can act promptly to improve the quality of services.
The Digital Twin does not just record data: it processes and interprets them, and provides strategic suggestions to optimise operations, reduce costs and increase guest satisfaction.
Integration with AKAI Smart PMS
In AKAI Smart PMS, Interlogica’s Property Management System, the Digital Twin comes to life through a platform that creates a digital replica of the facility, monitoring every essential detail.
It can help with:
Automating staff training and management
Seasonal staff bring a high turnover, which makes it hard to ensure effective, fast training.
The Digital Twin makes training easier by digitalising key procedures, providing interactive guides and real-time updates that shorten learning times and improve staff efficiency.
Monitoring maintenance flows
The Digital Twin was designed to monitor maintenance flows and optimise the use of resources.
It analyses the condition of systems and equipment, flagging any anomalies before they turn into critical problems. This allows timely interventions and a significant reduction in the cost of extraordinary maintenance.
Guest replica
The system collects and analyses detailed information about guests, such as:
- preferences and consumption habits;
- interactions with the facility’s services;
- feedback and reviews.
All these data are combined to create a complete, up-to-date profile, making it possible to anticipate guests’ wishes and offer a tailor-made experience, increasing their satisfaction and loyalty.
