(165c) A View into Industrial Metaverse

Join this session to gain insight into what Industrial Metaverse looks like today. We will look at two industrial facility visualizations, the baseline and definition of Industrial Metaverse, executable digital twins, user interfaces and use cases, challenges and areas of development.

Components that are considered in this abstract:

Visualization and insights from a realistic environment - 3D visualization on screen or on extended reality devices creating the immersion of being pulled into an environment. Getting feedback from real-world assets & their digital twins regarding the right info, right time, and right experts. Enabling multiple contributors, multiple disciplines working on the single source of truth in a next level experience.

Meeting in real-time with immediate collaborative review and changes - Featuring 3D representation of all components of a plant, embedded engineering directly from the 3D application, AI analysis and root cause guidance, supply chain delivered component models and integration, virtual commissioning collaborations, relevant real-time simulation as needed, possibility to zoom in and out of different abstraction levels individually and at once for all levels.

Continuous evaluation, simulation, and prediction - Talking about model order reduction of most accurate models to lowered computational complexity while conserving underlying physics to allow real-time execution on edge devices with lower hardware footprint. Other angles include physics-aware surrogate-based approaches and GPU acceleration saving time without sacrificing accuracy for dedicated problem classes.

Monitor, analyze, and manage assets - XiL approaches like Hardware-in-Loop (HiL) and Software-in-Loop (SiL) for computer aided manufacturing enable time savings for energy, feedstock, maintenance, optimization, and quality related operations in a safe and efficient way.

This session is aimed at technologists interested in photorealistic real-time environments applied through scalable computing in real-time enabling 3D collaboration across a comprehensive digital twin representing mechanical, electrical, and software domains of the virtual and physical realities.
