What it does.

Nexus Twin is INS's flagship core platform — the umbrella that powers the entire Nexus ecosystem. It creates a city-scale, continuously-updated digital replica of physical infrastructure by fusing real-time IoT sensor streams, BIM building models, and GIS network layers into a single authoritative operational view. Every other Nexus product connects into and extends the Twin: simulation engines run on its data fabric, permit workflows attach documents to its asset registry, and analytics platforms consume its live feeds.

What's inside.

BIM to GIS Conversion
BIM to GIS Conversion
Convert IFC building models into fully georeferenced GIS layers — spatial attributes, relationships, and metadata preserved and queryable across the twin.
3D BIM Visualisation
3D BIM Visualisation
Navigate, inspect, and annotate detailed BIM models in-browser with element-level metadata, clash detection, and direct links to asset records.
Digital Twin Visualisation
Digital Twin Visualisation
Explore a live, georeferenced 3D replica of your infrastructure with real-time sensor overlays, dynamic data streams, and city-scale spatial context.
Asset Projects
Asset Projects
Manage the full lifecycle of infrastructure assets — tracking condition, maintenance history, and project status across the entire portfolio in one place.
IoT Data & Sensor Provisioning
IoT Data & Sensor Provisioning
Connect, configure, and monitor IoT sensors and SCADA systems via MQTT, REST, and OGC SensorThings — live telemetry surfaced on the twin within seconds.
Point Cloud Visualisation
Point Cloud Visualisation
Overlay high-density LiDAR and photogrammetry point clouds on the digital twin for as-built verification, volumetric analysis, and spatial accuracy checks.
Collaboration & Issue Management
Collaboration & Issue Management
Create, assign, and resolve issues spatially — linking field observations, photos, and status workflows to precise locations on the twin.
AI-Powered Common Data Environment
AI-Powered CDE
A Common Data Environment enhanced with AI — intelligent document classification, contextual search, and a conversational assistant with access to all project data on the twin.
