Introduction McKinsey research shows that a remarkable 70% of top tech executives are investing in digital twins, highlighting the growing momentum for this technology. Their goal is to achieve more agile and resilient operations, as digital twins offer a wide range of applications, from remote control and monitoring to complex system simulations, enabling a new […]

Unlocking all of the insights hidden within manufacturing data has the potential to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and boost overall productivity for numerous and diverse industries. Finding insights within manufacturing data is often challenging, because most manufacturing data exists as unstructured data in the form of documents, equipment maintenance records, and data sheets. Finding insights […]

McKinsey research indicates that 70 percent of C-suite technology executives invest in digital twins to build more agile and resilient operations. They see benefits across multiple use cases ranging from remote control and monitoring, asset maintenance and interoperability, to system and production simulation. These use cases need the ability to bring together Operational Technology (OT) […]

Introduction The manufacturing and architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industries have widely adopted building information model (BIM) software to generate accurate 3D models for use in a digital twin. These 3D models can be anything from a factory floor to a construction site or office building. However, exporting 3D models from BIM software often […]

Introduction With the increasing proliferation of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems and cloud services for innovation and digital transformation, government agencies and industrial customers are faced with protecting an expanding attack surface. The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards were written before IIoT technologies were common but provide a strong basis for securing these environments. […]

Introduction In this blog post, you will learn how you can use photographs taken by a drone to create a 3D model of real world environments within a digital twin. Digital twins are virtual representations of physical systems that are regularly updated with data to mimic the structure, state, and behavior of the assets they […]

Introduction The shift from in office work to hybrid and fully remote work is causing revenue and valuation pressure on commercial building owners. As a result, building managers are exploring ways to optimize their expenses by reducing maintenance costs while still providing a premier tenant experience. Building managers are responsible for maintenance and providing a […]
