The concept of the metaverse is becoming popular and has become the subject of discussions about the paths that technology is taking. Much of this attention was given by the most recent movement to change the name of the giant Facebook, now called Meta.
The new name is a clear reference to the companys focus for the future: the world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). We can easily see this trend in the companys most recent projects, which intend to bring new software, equipment and tools to the market capable of bringing cutting-edge technology to the general public.
In parallel, we have the production of virtual environments and 3D experiences by technology companies around the world. This is a market with billions of dollars in revenue forecast for the coming years.
Although the popularization of the term “metaverse” has the news in the company Facebook as a cause, in the world of technology this is an area of research and development already well explored.
Companies like Microsoft aim their products at the news. For her, the metaverse will be the new simulation of stores, factories, entertainment and leisure environments. Also, the company Epic Games, with its successful game Fortnite, which has already promoted events and shows within the game itself.
These and many other companies are preparing their products and services to offer, in the coming years, new experiences in simulated environments to the general public and business sectors.
Metaverse in industry and production lines
Most people may not realize it, but the idea of using virtually developed 3D environments, equipment and avatars is already present in the industry.
More common in heavy industry, augmented reality allows the development of virtual work environments, complete machines, complex equipment, among others. And in addition to digitally visualizing everything that technology allows us, it is possible to monitor technical data in detail.
Production Digital Twin and Metaverse: two achievements for the industry of the future
When it comes to the metaverse, one term you need to be aware of is the digital twin.
Have you ever heard of “Digital Twin”? Digital Twins are three-dimensional digital models identical to physical parts, products and equipment. That is, they are a “virtual copy” of a real-world object replicated to a computer model.
Digital twins are already being used in the industry for the maintenance of equipment, such as turbines. As we said, the possibilities for using three-dimensional environments and objects in the metaverse are varied, and go far beyond games.
The application of augmented reality in industry
The Digital Twin technology makes it possible to simulate the operation of production objects, while the complete production line can be simulated in a virtual environment of the metaverse. All without interfering with real-world production equipment.
This new way of looking at the industry allows professionals to carry out all their jobs, of the most varied kind, without the need to stop production or the activity of the physical equipment.
The benefits for the industry
Does your company want to be part of the cutting-edge technology industry? The metaverse and digital twin can be a reality for your production. And we can learn and anticipate the trends of the new technological revolution.
Learn about some of the benefits and advantages that virtual reality technology brings to the industry, and which will raise it to a new level of quality, productivity and safety:
- Monitoring and analysis of machine and equipment data in digital models
- Greater savings in production operations as it replaces physical equipment for 3D models
- Reduces risk of accidents at work
- Fixing equipment failures
- Allows you to test simulations to apply in real life
- Anticipate scenarios, failures, performance and results
- Productivity optimization
- Greater energy savings
As we can see, new technologies are the future, not only of the new habits of individuals, but also of the industry. And Profills do Brasil is connected with trends, seeking solutions for production from small to large entrepreneurs.
