Many digital twin providers can now detect individual objects like doors or windows within models or point clouds. While this technology works reasonably well for common items, it often struggles with recognition or misidentification. This becomes especially challenging in industrial or technical settings, where the focus is on more specialized objects like valves, stopcocks, or entire installations. In these cases, traditional recognition methods are often ineffective. This is a significant issue since reliability is crucial in these environments.
That’s why at FRAMENCE, we integrate a range of advanced techniques to ensure precise and dependable object recognition. This works in even complex environments like factories and production facilities. By leveraging our expertise in image models and machine learning, we develop solutions tailored to meet the specific technical needs of these industries.
Our AI-powered photorealistic digital twins go beyond simple object recognition—they accurately identify and pinpoint objects within the facility. This eliminates the need for technicians to sift through outdated plans or lengthy documentation to locate assets. Instead, they can open the digital twin of a production site and input the object description into the search bar. That’s how they can instantly view all relevant assets, complete with an exact visual of their location. This saves significant time and enhances efficiency.
Another key advantage is that critical assets are often already equipped with tags, asset identifiers, or signage for on-site identification. These might include internal IDs, SAP numbers, or other unique designations. Since FRAMENCE utilizes high-resolution images where these tags are clearly visible, we employ OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to automatically detect and read them. The software assigns a precise 3D coordinate to each tag and accurately places it within the digital twin.
Through simple HTML links or a web service API, FRAMENCE can seamlessly integrate with existing internal databases or other systems that store information about the assets. This allows users to access relevant data—such as technical specifications, maintenance logs, or safety information—directly within the digital twin. By clicking on a recognized tag, users can instantly retrieve all associated information from the database while viewing the specific area of the asset. This not only ensures that vital data is captured, but also embeds it within the visual context of the facility, significantly improving the efficiency of asset maintenance and management.
This solution isn’t just designed for industrial environments—it can also be applied to other sectors, such as building management. For instance, fire safety information, including the number and location of fire extinguishers, can be quickly and accurately identified and mapped.
