Create a living digital replica of your factory that updates in real-time from IoT sensors. Test process changes, optimize production, train operators, and plan expansions—all in a risk-free virtual environment before implementing in physical production.
Making changes to production processes or introducing new products requires expensive, disruptive, and risky experiments on the actual factory floor:
Testing new production parameters, equipment configurations, or product designs on live production risks scrapping batches, damaging equipment, or missing delivery commitments if the change doesn't work as expected.
Manufacturing engineers can only test 2-3 scenarios per day on physical equipment, missing optimal configurations that could improve efficiency by 15-30% but require testing dozens of parameter combinations.
Training operators on expensive production equipment risks costly mistakes, safety incidents, and production downtime. Classroom training without hands-on practice leaves operators unprepared for real conditions.
Equipment purchases and facility expansions costing millions are decided using static analysis and vendor promises rather than dynamic simulation of how new assets will actually perform within your specific operation.
A digital twin is a virtual replica of your physical factory that receives real-time data from IoT sensors and simulates production processes with high fidelity. It enables risk-free experimentation, optimization, and planning.
The digital twin continuously updates from production data—machine states, process parameters, inventory levels, quality measurements—maintaining an accurate virtual representation of current factory conditions.
Test unlimited "what-if" scenarios in the virtual factory without disrupting actual production—new equipment, process changes, different schedules, or product introductions.
AI algorithms analyze digital twin data to predict future states, identify optimization opportunities, and recommend process improvements that human operators might miss.
Train operators on digital twin systems with realistic simulations of normal operations, abnormal situations, and emergency procedures—without risk to people, products, or equipment.
Explore digital twin implementations that have enabled manufacturers to optimize processes, reduce downtime, and accelerate innovation through virtual experimentation.
Finding optimal process parameters requires extensive trial-and-error testing that disrupts production and risks quality issues.
Run thousands of virtual experiments testing different temperature, pressure, speed, and timing combinations to identify optimal settings before implementing in physical production.
Equipment purchases and facility expansions represent major investments, but their actual impact on throughput and ROI is uncertain until after installation.
Model proposed equipment within the digital twin to simulate its performance within your specific operation, testing different configurations and capacity scenarios before purchase.
Traditional PM schedules are based on time intervals or cycles, but actual equipment degradation varies based on operating conditions and utilization.
Digital twin monitors actual equipment condition and predicts remaining useful life based on real operating data, optimizing PM timing to prevent failures while avoiding premature maintenance.
Launching new products requires validating manufacturing processes, training operators, and ramping production—activities that delay time-to-market and risk quality issues.
Create virtual production runs in the digital twin to identify process issues, optimize parameters, and train operators before physical production starts, compressing NPI timelines.
Supply disruptions, demand volatility, and material shortages create uncertainty. Manufacturers need contingency plans but can't test them without disrupting operations.
Simulate supply chain disruption scenarios in the digital twin—material shortages, logistics delays, demand spikes—to develop response strategies and identify vulnerabilities before disruptions occur.
Well-calibrated digital twins achieve 90-95% accuracy for most manufacturing processes when fed with real-time data. Accuracy improves over time as the models learn from more production data. For critical decisions, we validate twin predictions against physical production before trusting them for optimization.
You need IoT sensors on equipment (if not already installed), data integration from existing systems (SCADA, MES, ERP), and process knowledge to build accurate models. Most manufacturers already have 60-70% of required data in existing systems. We help identify gaps and deploy additional sensors where needed.
Initial ROI typically comes within 6-12 months through process optimization, reduced scrap, or better capital planning decisions. For example, avoiding one $500K equipment purchase that wouldn't solve your bottleneck justifies the entire digital twin investment. Longer-term value compounds as you use the twin for multiple use cases.
We design digital twin interfaces for different user roles. Operators interact through simplified dashboards showing real-time status and what-if scenarios. Engineers access detailed simulation and analytics tools. Executives view KPIs and scenario comparisons for decision-making. The same underlying twin serves all stakeholders at appropriate detail levels.
Digital twins are living systems that evolve with your factory. Process changes, equipment additions, and product introductions are reflected in twin models through periodic updates. Real-time data synchronization means the twin always reflects current production states even as you make physical changes over time.
Digital twins integrate with IoT sensors and Industry 4.0 systems for real-time factory intelligence.
Test scheduling scenarios in digital twin before implementing in physical production.
Digital twins predict quality outcomes and optimize process parameters for zero-defect production.
