3D Digital Twin

  • Are workers' data secure?

    Sim, the workers' names are never recorded. Each worker is assigned a number. Only the company has access to the names.

    The motion capture device only measures body movement, such as poor posture and the impact that position has on the body. It does not, for example, measure the worker's general state of health.

  • Is Digital Twin 3D a service or software?

    MEO Empresas software that will be installed at customer. This is a turnkey project that includes digitization and a 3D model already integrated with operations. From that point on, the customer the software and can access the associated support service whenever needed.

  • If the customer has other solutions that collect data from the machines, can we ensure connectivity to that source?

    Yes, this solution can retrieve source data from existing solutions.

  • If customer is not collecting data from machines yet, how are we able to provide this solution?

    In this case, if the customer desires, a turnkey proposal will be provided that includes, in addition to the specific 3D Digital Twin solution, equipment and gateways that collect data from the machines and feed it into this solution.

  • What does 5G connectivity include?

    IoT 5G connectivity will be associated with the equipment/gateways that collect data from the machines and send it to the Digital Twin. This connectivity can be based on the IoT Connect service, benefiting from MEO's 5G coverage.


  • What is a Digital Twin? How does it work?

    A digital twin is a virtual, real-time representation of what is happening in the real world. The digital twin is connected to sensor data that is stored in customer 's data lake and artificial intelligence processes it in real time to provide early warnings whenever it detects a problem.

    The 3D digital twin begins with the creation of a 3D model of the interior of your facilities, following a laser scan of the site. It is then connected to the customer data lake, which stores information from sensors, PLCs, and other sources. The 3D model uses this information to animate the virtual 3D model in real time, allowing you to see what is happening in the actual operation and to virtually walk through it, as if you were physically present on the premises.


  • What sets MEO Empresas 's 3D Digital Twin solution apart from the competition?

    MEO Empresas 's 3D Digital Twin uses 3D digital twin technology to scan the facility and generate an accurate 3D model from a point cloud, thereby creating a 3D model automatically—rather than manually, as is the case with other major players in the market.

    Real-time animation of the digital twin is also a distinctive feature, with real-time operational data obtained via an API connection to the production line’s automated systems; it includes artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced with physics to calculate any parameter in real time (virtual sensor).

    With this solution, any problem is detected immediately in the 3D animation and in real time, since the operation is monitored around the clock.

    Another advantage of this solution is the tracking of manual operations, integrated into the digital twin, complementing this component with information on infrastructures and machines, obtaining a complete virtual model.


  • Does a new 3D digital twin have to be made every time there is a change in the operation's facilities?

    No, there will only be an update by means of a new laser scan of the area that has been altered. This change will be incorporated/updated in the previous 3D model. 

  • Is it possible to evolve the 3D digital twin?

    The 3D digital twin is installed in the customer as a virtual game. This digital model can be updated over time (e.g. adding new sensor data).

  • What is the return on investment for this 3D Digital Twin solution from MEO Empresas?

    The return on investment for this type of solution is very high, given that it includes an artificial intelligence component that detects when there is a problem with production. The longer it is in use, the more patterns it will identify, allowing it to trigger alerts if it finds a pattern that typically leads to a problem. This means less production downtime, as it is possible to anticipate and correct the problem quickly. This predictability of occurrences will reduce the time the operation is not producing, which minimizes costs.

    The simulation/optimisation component will also help increase production efficiency by improving production process planning. It does this by allowing users to virtually modify and test variables in the operational process and predict the outcome, thereby enabling them to simulate the results of different scenarios within their production chain. This virtual testing eliminates the need for trial-and-error testing in actual operations, thereby reducing downtime and lowering the costs associated with such tests.




  • What can be done beyond the digital twin?

    The 3D model allows you to overlay scenarios—layouts in the operation—to plan the setup and workflow for a production changeover or even a completely new production line, since this change can be viewed in augmented reality.

    The digital twin can also be used to train workers in an immersive virtual reality environment. In this training, the worker can practice a new activity.


  • Do I need to buy any specific software?

    No, the 3D environment is installed like a game. You just need to run the setup. To ensure that the customer can display the digital twin in high quality, we recommend that the computer on which the digital twin platform will be installed have a dedicated 6GB NVIDIA GTX or RTX graphics card, suitable for VR (Virtual Reality) viewing.
