Vizzio Technologies Pte Ltd, Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII), and INGRASYS have partnered to create digital twins for World Economic Forum (WEF) Lighthouse Factories worldwide, leveraging advanced satellite imaging and artificial intelligence to develop immersive 3D representations of manufacturing environments. The parties call it “a transformative era in smart manufacturing.”
Digital twins, or virtual replicas of physical environments, are revolutionising industry operations by integrating AI, IoT, and real-time analytics. This technology improves precision, adaptability, and sustainability in manufacturing processes. Outcomes from the partnership include:
The world’s first live 3D digital twin: Vizzio Technologies and Fii have launched the first live 3D digital twin of FII’s global manufacturing sites, marking a significant milestone in smart manufacturing. This achievement highlights Vizzio Technologies’ capabilities and sets a new standard for digital innovation in the manufacturing sector. By creating a digital twin of a manufacturing site, companies can monitor, analyse, and optimise their operations in real time, leading to significant improvements in efficiency and productivity.
Global collaboration: This partnership spans FIIi’s WEF-certified Lighthouse Factories globally, standardising digital twin experiences across all manufacturing hubs. This global collaboration underscores the commitment of Vizzio Technologies, Fii, and INGRASYS to drive innovation and excellence in the manufacturing industry. By leveraging the strengths and expertise of each partner, this initiative aims to create a unified and standardised digital twin platform that can be deployed across various manufacturing sites worldwide.
Advanced technology integration: Utilising Vizzio’s satellite imagery and AI, the collaboration constructs accurate photorealistic 3D models, providing superior alternatives to traditional methods. This advanced technology integration allows for the creation of highly detailed and accurate digital representations of physical environments, enabling better decision-making and operational efficiency. The use of satellite imagery and AI ensures that the digital twins are not only accurate but also scalable and adaptable to various manufacturing environments.
Cost-effective and fast 3D mapping: Vizzio’s 3D mapping workflow integrates cutting-edge street views and indoor/outdoor 3D maps, significantly reducing digital twin creation costs compared to traditional LIDAR methods. This cost-effective approach allows more companies to adopt digital twin technology, democratising access to advanced manufacturing solutions. By reducing the costs and time required to create digital twins, Vizzio Technologies is making it easier for companies to implement and benefit from this technology.
Real-time 3D virtual tours: The partnership includes installing POLYTRON 4K 360 cameras, enabling real-time virtual tours, enhancing operational efficiency, and advancing sustainability practices. These real-time 3D virtual tours provide an immersive and interactive experience, allowing stakeholders to remotely monitor and manage manufacturing operations. This not only reduces the need for physical site visits but also improves transparency and collaboration among teams.
“Partnering with Vizzio Technologies to build digital twins for our Lighthouse Factories demonstrates our commitment to innovation and sustainable manufacturing practices,” said Foxconn Industrial Internet’s Zongchang Liu. “This collaboration is a testament to our dedication to driving technological advancements that shape the future of industries. By leveraging the capabilities of digital twins, we are able to enhance our operational efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve our sustainability goals.”
This collaboration with FII represents a seminal moment in digital manufacturing innovation, where precision converges with sustainability,” said Vizzio Founder Jon Lee. “Our expertise in 3D city mapping, combined with FII’s industry leadership, establishes a new standard for smart factories. We are thrilled to be part of this transformative journey, which not only improves our technological capabilities but also reaffirms our commitment to driving innovation and excellence in the manufacturing sector.”
