One of the key cornerstones of Industry 4.0 is the Digital Twin: the virtual copy, or twin, of a physical asset. Digital Twins store various types of data about the respective physical assets, from CAD designs and optimal performance parameters to maintenance reports and real-time data collected by IoT sensors. A feature within PointFuse is that is allows the automatic creation of accurate geometry of an entire site. It models everything, so when there are no existing plans it is a way of creating a new model without the prohibitive time and cost constraints of producing a full scale 3D BIM model.
PointFuse provides a benefit that grows exponentially with the scale of the solution, from a single asset to an entire estate of assets. Its intelligent mesh structure can be classified and exported to third party digital twin software and GIS platforms where the model can be populated with additional information where needed.
