INDUSTRIAL METAVERSE
Build Smarter. Collaborate Better. Innovate Faster.
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. It 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 depends on creating efficient and transparent digital infrastructure. The foundation for a manufacturing revolution is set, where companies can manage, monitor, and analyze data in real time, or securely and cost-effectively test, optimize, and predict scenarios. EDAG offers:
- Improved efficiency – through virtual models that optimize workflows and simulate process improvements
- Better collaboration – enabling employees to work together across locations
- Cost reduction – through virtual testing and less effort needed to commission new equipment
