Digital Twin of Factory
Virtual Gemba -
A Real-Time Virtual Twin of your factory
Axia enables you to do Gemba whenever you need it in real-time. Walk around with your team and see whats happening in shop-floor real-time.
Showcase factory
Virtual 3D visualization of extact scaled model of the indoor and exterior of your factory. Zoning of factory can be replicated in the virtual model.
Showcase Warehouses
Like teh factory floor, your warehouses also can be scaled into a virtual 3D model to which warehousing data can be sourced from Axia SmartCloud. You can visualize the stock movements in realtime using Virtual Gemba.
Versatile API Backend
Virtual Gemba frontend blends in well with Axia’s backend to receive variety of data in real time. As you start walkthrough in the model, and information you wish to see, just keep poping up
Real-time location Tracking System
It is possible to integrate RLTS data into Virtual Gemba depending on the use case One pilot we undertook using RLTS technology is to integrate RFIDs from worker ID cards to identify worker availability and their movements in real-time using NFC & BLE networks.
What is a Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a virtual 3D model designed to accurately reflect a physical object. The object being analysed — for example, a production facility — can be outfitted with various sensors to collect information related to key areas of its functions. These sensors produce data about different aspects such as performance, energy consumption, temperature, weather conditions and more. This data is then relayed to a processing system and layered over to virtual 3D model.
Do I need Digital Twin Technology?
Digital twins of a process facility, can reveal how units or systems come together as the entire production facility. You will be able to analyse, remotely and virtually, are those systems all synchronized to operate at peak efficiency, or will delays in one system affect others? Process twins can help determine the precise timing schemes that ultimately influence overall effectiveness.
Digital twins can help mirror and monitor production systems, with an eye to achieving and maintaining peak efficiency throughout the entire manufacturing process.
While digital twins are prized for what they offer, their use isn’t warranted for every manufacturer. Not every object is complex enough to need the intense and regular flow of sensor data that digital twins require. Nor is it always worth it from a financial standpoint to invest significant resources in the creation of a digital twin. (Keep in mind that a digital twin is an exact replica of a physical object, which makes its creation costly.)
On the other hand, Manufacturing digital twins excel at helping streamline process efficiency, as you would find in industrial environments with co-functioning machine systems.
A fundamental change to existing operating models is clearly happening. A digital reinvention is occurring in asset-intensive industries that is changing operating models in a disruptive way, requiring an integrated physical plus digital view of assets, equipment, facilities and processes. Digital twins are a vital part of that realignment.
