INDUSTRIAL METAVERSE
Connecting digital and physical aspects in the industrial environment: managing, monitoring and analyzing data and information about production, logistics and the supply chain in real time
- Learn more
The Industrial Metaverse (IMV) combines technologies and methods to create a digital space for the industrial landscape in which virtual and physical reality merge. When employees combine their skills and experiences with the possibilities of technology, enormous potential unfolds.
Digital twins are central building blocks of the IMV. They enable a wide range of applications and a dynamically growing technological ecosystem. To make the IMV a reality for their business, companies first need to learn about the advantages of the IMV, identify relevant use cases, recognize their potential added value and prioritize them.
At our themed island, you can find out more about the concept of the Industrial Metaverse and the opportunities it offers, learn about practical use cases and discover how the new production method can be applied in your company.
- Industrial Metaverse will focus on:
- Digital thread: development of a homogenous data and IT infrastructure
- Digital twin of the product: innovative product design and validation
- Digital twin of production: time- and quality-optimized production processes
- Digitally integrated supply chain: improved collaboration
- Digital integration of people: effective employees and enthusiastic customers
- Innovative digital business models: increased competitiveness
- Experience in a virtual environment: use case from production planning
SMART ECOSYSTEM
Improve productivity, flexibility and scalability by networking platforms and integrating data and resources from different areas
- Learn more
Digitalization is blurring the boundaries between corporate divisions and industries. Companies that used to think in terms of classic business units with products and services are now experiencing increasing integration and networking. Platforms and ecosystems are replacing singular solutions or services. The advantages are clear: more efficient development processes, agile and intelligent supply chains, and the use of existing data to identify and respond to changes in the ecosystem at an early stage.
The IT infrastructure and the right mindset pose major challenges when introducing smart ecosystems. At our Smart Ecosystem topic island, we will show you how we help companies to develop, implement and operate intelligent and scalable ecosystems. This can include various individual components and services, but also the entire IT ecosystem of an industrial company, from material planning across the entire value chain in production, the shop floor, to applications for the end customer.
- Smart Ecosystem will focus on:
- Methodology and structure of smart ecosystems
- Individual applications and modules
- Integration of MES and ERP solutions, as well as data and AI-supported applications and digital twins
- Shift-to-cloud strategies
- References from industry
