XR Digital Twins
Digital twins address the challenge of improving efficiency and reducing costs in the design, testing, and operation of complex systems and equipment. Traditional methods require lengthy and expensive trials, the use of real equipment, and this increases the likelihood of breakdowns and production downtime. Additionally, there are difficulties in staff training, especially in high-risk environments. The implemented solution involves the creation of digital twins, which are virtual replicas of real objects and processes. By utilizing XR technologies (virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality), users can visualize and test equipment in a virtual environment, interact with 3D models, and practice without needing physical infrastructure. This solution helps reduce costs, improve safety, and accelerate engineering decision-making.
New Industry And Energy
Digital twins
The implementation time for the practice varies from 3 to 9 months, depending on the complexity of the object and the scale of production. The process may include stages of design, development, testing, and staff training.
Our digital twins have been successfully implemented at manufacturing enterprises in Russia. The potential for scaling this technology is unlimited due to its versatility and flexibility. It can be adapted to various industries, as well as different regions and countries, as it takes into account local specifics, regulatory requirements, and operating conditions. Implementing digital twins does not require significant infrastructure changes, and customization for specific tasks and regions enables companies to improve production processes and reduce costs, regardless of geographic location or industry.
Digital twins utilizing XR technologies offer significant advantages over traditional methods and other solutions.
1. Immersive interaction: The ability to interact with 3D models in a virtual environment provides a deeper understanding of equipment functionality, improving both training and design processes.
2. Safety: Since training and testing are conducted in a virtual environment, it minimizes risks to both employees and equipment.
3. Flexibility and adaptability: Digital twins are easily customizable for specific tasks and regions, allowing for consideration of local regulatory requirements and operational conditions.
4. Speed and efficiency: Digital twins reduce the time needed for design and testing, accelerating decision-making and speeding up product time to market.
5. Economic benefits: This practice reduces costs related to training, operation, and equipment maintenance, leading to a rapid return on investment.
The practice has been featured in several specialized publications, including "Science and Technology," "Holography — AR | VR | Metaverse," and "Future Sailors — VR, AR, and Stuff." Additionally, we have received numerous letters of appreciation from companies that have successfully implemented our solution. Some of these letters are included in the attached materials.
We have developed several approaches that accelerate the development and modeling process. These methods have significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our digital twin technology.
