Visual analytics and digital twins facilitate the interpretation of complex data, optimizing processes and decisions in Industry 4.0.
The era of industry 4.0 has imposed a challenge in digitization on companies, where making quick and informed decisions has become a key factor for success. In this context, visual analytics has become an essential tool for companies to transform large volumes of data into valuable information that allows them to improve their processes, optimize resources, and foresee problems before they occur.
What is visual analytics?
Visual analytics refers to the graphical representation of complex data through interactive visual interfaces to facilitate understanding and analysis. In modern industry, where massive amounts of data are generated from various sources, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and automated systems, the ability to interpret this data efficiently is fundamental. These visualizations not only enhance communication but also improve the cognitive processes necessary for a deeper understanding of the information.
Visual analytics is excellent for conveying information clearly to all team members, especially those who are less technical and may not be familiar with complex tools like SCADA or MES. It is an ideal option to quickly show the current situation of a plant and present informed conclusions.
The integration of 3D visualizations and digital twins is allowing companies to simulate and predict the behavior of their systems and processes, taking operational efficiency to new levels.
Visualization strategies
At IMMERSIA, we have various interface options that adapt to the different sectors and diverse needs of each client:
Interactive Dashboards: | Customized control panels that allow users to monitor key metrics in real-time. In addition, they offer the possibility to include 3D visualizations, enhancing the depth of the information presented. |
Digital Twin: | A digital twin is a detailed virtual representation of an object, system, or infrastructure that integrates real-time data through sensors and advanced technologies. By combining the Internet of Things (IoT), , and machine learning, it allows for simulating, predicting, and optimizing the behavior and performance of the physical object throughout its lifecycle. Our TOKII platform, based on digital twin technology, allows creating virtual replicas of different industrial plants and 3D navigation over them. This facilitates detailed monitoring and predictive analysis in a visually immersive environment. |
Immersive data visualization
The human brain is naturally adapted to interpret 3D visualizations, making interactive experiences more comprehensible and engaging for us. Immersive data visualization leverages this innate preference by combining advanced visualization technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and digital twins to create interactive environments where data comes to life. These tools immerse users in a three-dimensional space, allowing them to explore information in a more intuitive and engaging way.
TOKII is an intuitive and intelligent platform that, thanks to its compatibility with various protocols, offers a flexible connection and control of multiple data sources, both in the cloud and on-premise. For a clearer idea, I encourage you to watch this video that shows some of the many possibilities it offers.
Use cases
Vicinay Marine implemented TOKII for machine data monitoring for a unified and integrated view with visual intelligence functionalities. You can check the detailed success case in ‘Vicinay Success Case’.
