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…

Don’t confuse a 3D model with a digital twin!

Nowadays there are many players in the market that can create accurate 3D models of the real world structures – a process that is commonly called “reality capture”. Using laser scanners or photogrammetry, detailed three-dimensional, geometric representations of captured objects are created. The results of this is referred to as a “digital twin”. But such…

Why a Digital Twin is so important right now…

Current events are calling for innovative technologies that allow people to work from anywhere. As a result of globalization and digitization, “mobile work” is becoming increasingly important because in the future it will no longer matter where people work from. The decisive question will be if the technical requirement allows to access all information. Current…
