Connecting digital twins and databases with AI and OCR

Managing the vast amounts of data generated by facilities and assets is a growing challenge for modern companies. This data, often scattered across multiple IT systems and databases, needs to be accessible and seamlessly linked to digital twins—photorealistic representations of these assets. However, the traditional process of achieving this connection has been time-consuming and labor-intensive.…

How can digital twins benefit from MES?

Modern plants have a large number of sensors, meters and cameras that provide data in real time during the production process. This data is recorded, sometimes immediately analyzed and flows into the manufacturing execution system (MES) to control production, prevent rejects and ensure quality. Another group of data, the machine data, monitors the production equipment…
