Spatial Map is digital twin software for buildings that mirrors what is happening inside them: sensor readings, RFID reads, stock levels, asset locations and work orders bound to the rooms, racks and doors of a 3D map. It is an operations twin — live state, history, alerts, reports and plain-language questions — not a physics simulation.

The term covers two different products. A simulation twin is a model that predicts: airflow, energy use, structural loads, or throughput under a layout that does not exist yet. An operations twin mirrors the building as it is now, from the data it already produces, so the people running it can see and act.
Spatial Map is the second kind. Knowing which one a project needs saves months; the guide to choosing digital twin software has a checklist.
On top of a 3D indoor map of the building:
The twin reads from the systems you already run: WMS stock, RFID and BLE middleware, sensor gateways, BMS points, CMMS work orders. Rows arrive through CSV or Excel uploads, REST polling on a schedule, or a table’s write API. See IoT sensor monitoring and RFID asset tracking software for the device side.
It is read-only towards those systems. Spatial Map does not write back to your WMS or ERP, start equipment or change set points, and alerts are delivered in the app — not by email, SMS or push.
If the question is “what would happen if…”, a simulation tool is the right choice:
Gulf governments have published smart-city and digital-government programmes, Dubai’s among the best known, and “digital twin” now appears in many building and facility requirements in the region. Before choosing a tool, ask which kind is meant: a design or energy model for the building, or a live view of how it runs.
For the operations side, check what your teams will need day to day: an Arabic interface (Spatial Map’s is fully right-to-left), browser access for control rooms and contractors through expiring read-only links, and data from the sensors and RFID already installed. Spatial Map does not claim certification against any specific programme or standard. Local context is on indoor mapping in Dubai and the UAE.
The same platform runs every twin in the demo workspace: the warehouse digital twin, the manufacturing digital twin, cold stores in the cold-chain solution, and stadiums and terminals in the venue operations map. If you are weighing a twin against your WMS, read warehouse digital twin vs WMS.
| Operations twin (Spatial Map) | Simulation twin | |
|---|---|---|
| Question it answers | What is happening now, and what happened | What would happen if… |
| Inputs | Live rows from sensors, RFID, WMS and CMMS | Models, parameters and scenarios |
| Output | Coloured shapes, alerts, reports, answers | Predictions and scenario results |
| Built and kept by | Operations teams, in the browser | Simulation or engineering specialists |
| Changes when | The data changes | Someone re-runs the model |
Import floor plans and draw or draft the shapes. See floor plan to indoor map.
Create tables and fill them by upload, REST polling or the write API.
Style rules colour the map; alert rules flag what needs attention.
Read-only links for each team, reports for the record.
Racks by stock status, RFID cartons, docks and forklifts.
Fictional names, real floor plans, live sensors, RFID, BLE tags and gateways — open any of them in the browser.
One-minute films made from the demo facilities, one per solution.
