The term industrial metaverse is particularly at home in the fields of Industry and Factory 4.0, automation and virtual and augmented reality. Here, it describes a digital, three-dimensional environment in which real factories, machines and production processes are mapped virtually.
In the industrial metaverse, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are used to digitally recreate entire production facilities or manufacturing plants. This allows engineers, technical teams and even customers around the world to collaborate digitally and optimise processes without having to be on site.
An illustrative example: A company wants to build a new production line. This plant is virtually simulated in the industrial metaverse. Experts from different countries can test the processes together, recognise sources of error and implement improvements - and all this before even a single machine has been built. This saves time, costs and resources.
For companies, the industrial metaverse represents a huge opportunity to modernise their work processes, accelerate innovation and make collaboration more efficient. This new level of digitalisation will make production smarter, more flexible and more sustainable.
