How JD.com’s AIDCTwins Digital Twin Transforms Data Center Operations

New Infrastructure and Digital Twin Spark

Data centers are a core component of China’s “new infrastructure” strategy, and JD.com has made them a strategic focus, operating dozens of self‑built and third‑party data centers, hundreds of edge nodes, and tens of thousands of servers, network devices, racks, and supporting facilities.

AIDCTwins Platform Overview

JD Cloud’s Infrastructure R&D team built a low‑code digital‑twin modeling tool, IoT perception technology, and cross‑platform 3D visualization to create the AIDCTwins digital twin of JD’s infrastructure, addressing intelligent operation needs and forming an open application platform for the new‑infrastructure field.

Benefits of Low‑Code Digital Twin

AIDCTwins provides 2D/3D visual modeling tools that turn complex three‑dimensional modeling—normally done by specialists—into routine work for on‑site operations staff, greatly reducing labor and time costs while ensuring that any physical changes are instantly reflected in the digital twin by on‑site personnel .

The platform also offers configurable IoT, power‑environment, and building‑automation data‑binding tools that enable no‑code, low‑cost development with high accuracy to meet iterative operational and remote‑management requirements.

Cross‑Platform Sharing and Real‑Time Operations

One‑time modeling can be shared across command screens, operation desks, mobile apps, and mini‑programs, creating a shared digital‑twin foundation that supports system‑cognition models linking the virtual and physical worlds.

Intelligent Operations and Green Efficiency

In JD Cloud’s Suqian data‑center, every server, rack, and diesel generator has a corresponding digital twin that reflects real‑time status, enabling operators to make rapid decisions via 3D visualizations on command screens or mobile apps.

Built on an IoT‑driven “infrastructure neural system” and the digital‑twin cognition base, JD Cloud continuously upgrades intelligent and green operation capabilities, improving energy efficiency and exploring digital empowerment in the new‑infrastructure arena.
