Virtual facilities, including factories, warehouses and distribution centers, semiconductor fabs, and data centers, unlock new possibilities for the world’s heavy industries, allowing them to design,simulate, operate, and optimize their assets and processes—entirely virtually.
These physics-based industrial digital twins bring many benefits to teams, including:
Improved communication and decisions: During facility design, construction, and commissioning, virtual facilities streamline communication for project stakeholders, allow teams to visualize and make decisions in context, and ensure that decisions are informed by the most current data.
Simulation of ideal layouts: Teams can connect virtual facilities to simulation tools to optimize facility designs for production and material flow, ergonomics, and safety.
Optimization of operations: By integrating virtual facilities with real-time production data, teams can rapidly identify, analyze, and resolve operational issues..
Training and testing autonomous systems: AI and robotics developers can leverage virtual facilities to develop and test the generative physical AI that powers autonomous systems deployed in physical facilities.
