Driven by the need to become more resilient, most companies have taken on the task of digitalizing their building and facility portfolios as well as of their critical infrastructures. A digital twin of the assets is created. If dynamic data from the operational processes is added to this digital twin, it offers invaluable advantages for…
In our last blog, we talked about how digital twins can be brought to life. Or to put it in other words; how digital twins can easily be connected to existing process systems, sensor databases or IoT-clouds. We would like to dedicate this blog to explore more about the fundamental topic of regularly updating static…
Digital twins – also know as digital representations of physical objects – can provide added value in many processes in building and plant management. Starting with the fact that important specialists do not have to waste their valuable time on complicated local visits, as they have the possibility to quickly get an impression of the…
Looking at the market for data collection nowadays, many players propagate the creation of 3D CAD models as the ultimate truth. Based upon point measurements, point clouds or photogrammetry, complex models are modelled by hand, which are then to be used as a visual basis in processes. In order to speed up the process from…
Since Microsoft launched the first HoloLens in 2016, many companies have realized that augmented reality – i.e. the expansion of reality with digital content – can become a game-changer in many areas. Unfortunately, none of these use cases have really hit the market and have progressed beyond the status of being research projects or test…
We do not know whether time travel will be possible one day, but currently science sees it remaining more fiction than fact. In the virtual world, time travel is already possible under certain conditions. First you simply have tp capture important information over the lifetime of a project and save it in chronological order, later…
Nowadays there are many players in the market that can create accurate 3D models of the real world structures – a process that is commonly called “reality capture”. Using laser scanners or photogrammetry, detailed three-dimensional, geometric representations of captured objects are created. The results of this is referred to as a “digital twin”. But such…
Current events are calling for innovative technologies that allow people to work from anywhere. As a result of globalization and digitization, “mobile work” is becoming increasingly important because in the future it will no longer matter where people work from. The decisive question will be if the technical requirement allows to access all information. Current…
When talking about Industry 4.0 and digital transformation, the terms virtual reality and augmented reality are often mentioned. There is much discussion about these topics, but very few companies do use the technologies effectively.
Drones are increasingly being used to document real estate and industrial parks – and for good reason. Within a few minutes, objects can be documented with photos or videos.
