XR is a unique technology that can solve multiple problems in the manufacturing sector. But there is one challenge that can be solved with the help of XR once and for all. It’s a costly and problematic logistics of heavy and bulky machinery. Today’s topic is Digital Twin.
Imagine the company that produces deep drilling units for metal constructions. This equipment is huge, and it weighs several tons. To locate a similar piece of equipment in the building you would occupy the space of the whole room. The logistics of such a tool is not cost effective. But there is often the urge to deliver this piece of equipment to the exhibition or to show it to potential clients during negotiations. Seeing is believing after all, especially when it comes to the demonstration of machinery. The solution of this issue is the top-notch technologies: with digital twin created in XR a manufacturer deals with the problem of transportation once and for all.
What is a digital twin? It’s a virtual model of a product that can be seen with the help of virtual/mixed/augmented reality applications.
We’ve built an XR application of equipment for our German partner that produces heavy equipment for drilling. Using this app, anyone can see a 3D model of this advanced piece of equipment and locate it anywhere in the world. It’s possible to adapt this app to MR glasses or use it as an AR app.
Creating digital twins of the equipment has several serious advantages. First, it is easier to build a mixed reality application for the visualization of deep drilling machines than to transport new models to the exhibition. Second, it’s possible to create a scalable 3D model of the machinery which will be fully interactive. What does it mean? A user will be able to look inside the equipment, check how the engines work, and choose the most comfortable size to explore the model.
What are the advantages of a digital twin for manufacturers?
It’s not the only benefit of AR in the manufacturing industry. With XR in manufacturing it’s easy to visualize future non-existing products as well to demonstrate them before they are even produced. It’s possible to demonstrate even the biggest and the heaviest equipment anywhere at any time. It’s easy to train new staff using interactive guidelines overlaid over physical equipment. It’s even easier to make equipment control and maintenance more effective and less risky using digital twins as references.
43% of people google their symptoms and misdiagnose themselves. With the medical chatbot created on the basis of a reliable database of symptoms from a trusted clinic millions of patients can receive more accurate preliminary diagnosis. Yet, a visit to a doctor is a must.
Biotech industry is revolutionizing healthcare, and our cooperation with ADAM, one of the most promising American biotech startups, is another evidence of the rise of this sphere.
MBA students do not like waiting: they want the world and they want it now. That is why we developed an employee scheduling software for the biggest Ukrainian MBA schools: to make the workflow immaculate and to reduce redundant and erroneous operations.
