INDUSTRIAL METAVERSE
Industrial Metaverse
The vision of a virtual world in which we can interact with digital objects emerged as early as the 1990s. Today, the so-called metaverse has become a reality thanks to advanced technologies such as AR, VR or artificial intelligence (AI). The concept has been adapted specifically for the industrial sector, resulting in the development of the Industrial Metaverse (IMV) as part of Industry 4.0. The Industrial Metaverse has created the conditions for connecting digital and physical aspects of production and manufacturing, among other things, and serves as a stage for the key technology behind it: digital twins, the most precise virtual representation possible of a physical object or process.
The future of the digital industrial age lies in the design of an efficient and transparent digital infrastructure. The cornerstone of a manufacturing revolution has been laid where companies can manage, monitor and analyze data and information in real time, or test, optimize and predict scenarios securely and cost-effectively.
- Improved efficiency through virtual models that optimize workflows and simulate process improvements
- Improved collaboration between employees across locations
- Reduced costs through virtual testing and less effort required to commission new equipment

Topic overview

Industrial Metaverse - Home of the Digital Twins
The Industrial Metaverse is a concept of a digital world that mirrors and simulates real machines and factories, buildings, networks and transportation systems. In our view, the key elements that make up the Industrial Metaverse are the digital twin of the product, the digital twin of production, the best possible integration of people and the digitally networked supply chain based on a digital backbone in order to map digital business models. In other words, it is about interacting with digital objects in a virtual world in order to generate benefits for companies.

Homogeneous data and IT infrastructure
A homogeneous data and IT infrastructure forms the basis of the Industrial Metaverse. Only when the integration of data from different sources within an environment such as a central platform is successful is the way clear for your digital game changer. What is important here is that, ideally, effective data preparation is carried out just once and requires careful maintenance throughout the entire life cycle.
- Our focus areas
- Comprehensive consulting on strategy development, design and implementation of your integration platform
- Consolidation of data sources along the entire product development process
- Integration of real-time data directly from your production
- Development of innovative applications based on the integrated data, customized to your needs
- Your benefits
- Neutral and comprehensive support from a single source
- Increased efficiency
- Improved quality
- Innovative applications


Innovative product design and validation
With the use of digital twins in the industrial metaverse, you are able to intelligently combine product design and production development and to identify and resolve safety-critical situations in a timely manner. Within the controlled and virtual environment, you can simulate numerous scenarios such as accidents or malfunctions in real time. You can then use the insights gained to develop effective solutions for prevention, ultimately bringing a safe and reliable product to market.
- Our focus areas
- Networked engineering in your product and production development by using a wide range of data sources
- Realistic visualization and validation of products and production, including functions and variations
