Digital Twins: With InfoVision it's Not Science Fiction but Happening Today

By Mark A. Johnston, VP of Healthcare Innovation & Strategy

Remember the holographic interfaces from sci-fi movies, where engineers manipulate virtual models with their hands? While we're not fully there yet, InfoVision is bridging the gap with their advanced digital twin technology. Let's explore how this innovation is transforming industries worldwide.

What's a Digital Twin, Anyway?

A digital twin is a precise digital replica of a physical object or system, serving as a virtual counterpart where you can test, adjust, and optimize without impacting the real-world entity. InfoVision specializes in creating these sophisticated models, enabling businesses globally to enhance their operations and innovation strategies.

Virtual Plant Operations: No More Guesswork

Imagine managing a large manufacturing plant from your office or even remotely, utilizing a virtual replica of the entire operation. That's the power of InfoVision's Virtual Plant Remote Operations platform.

This technology goes beyond aesthetics. It effectively reduces data clutter by 30%, allowing operators to concentrate on critical tasks. Additionally, operator effectiveness increases by 40%, enhancing productivity without the need for additional staffing.

Real-Time Data: Seeing is Believing

Have you ever wanted to monitor the internal workings of a machine in real-time? InfoVision's real-time data overlay makes this possible by integrating live sensor data onto a 3D model of your equipment. This advanced visualization allows workers to identify and address issues promptly, preventing minor setbacks from escalating into significant production disruptions.

Building Better: From Blueprint to Reality

In construction, whether developing a new facility or upgrading an existing one, ensuring every detail is accounted for is crucial. InfoVision's digital twin technology provides a comprehensive virtual model that enhances the accuracy and efficiency of construction projects.

This technology accelerates design reviews by 40% and identifies 50% of design flaws before construction begins. By addressing potential issues early, InfoVision helps prevent costly rework and ensures projects stay on schedule and within budget.

Keeping Tabs on the Important Stuff

Managing high-value assets efficiently is a significant challenge for many businesses. InfoVision's solution employs digital twin technology to monitor and track essential equipment in real-time, ensuring that assets are always accounted for and functioning optimally.

Beyond enhancing security and preventing theft, this system ensures maximum asset utilization, eliminating idle equipment and optimizing operational performance.

The Future of Audits: No Passport Required

Audits, particularly in highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, have traditionally involved extensive travel, significant time investment, and considerable expenses. InfoVision recognized the need for a more efficient approach and developed InfoVision/CyberTwin.

This technology enables auditors to conduct comprehensive reviews remotely, eliminating the need for onsite visits. For instance, a biotech company utilizing InfoVision/CyberTwin reduced audit durations by 15% and cut travel-related expenses by 40%, while also increasing audit success rates.

What's Next?

InfoVision is not only transforming current operational practices but also paving the way for future innovations. As digital twin technology continues to advance, we anticipate widespread adoption of predictive maintenance, highly accurate simulations, and applications across emerging industries, driving further innovation and growth.

Wrapping It Up

Digital twins are more than just advanced technology—they are essential tools transforming how businesses operate. From optimizing plant operations to enhancing facility design and maintenance, InfoVision leads the way in this digital revolution.

Digital twin technology is not a distant future concept; it is a present-day reality, actively improving operations in ways previously unimaginable.
