Chiyoda Corporation and Visionaize, Inc. announce partnership on 3D Digital Twin technology

Chiyoda Corporation (Chiyoda)*1 is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Visionaize, Inc. (Visionaize)*2 to jointly seek business opportunities utilizing a 3D digital twin platform.

 

We have agreed to develop business models for the solution services based on Chiyoda’s engineering with IoT/AI/digital technologies utilizing Visonaize’s 3D digital twin platform to realize optimized plant operation and maintenance.

 

For sustainable plant operation, it is effective to use a 3D operational digital twin that pairs the real-world plant with its identical digital replica. Connecting this virtual digital twin with real-time and historical data from IoT sensors and operational systems allows plant operators to understand data more quickly from multiple operational systems within the visual context of the plant to make better, faster decisions that are data-driven. This results in improved safety and efficiency as workers execute their daily tasks. For a digital twin to be trusted by plant workers, Model Management of Change (MMOC) is critical to keep the twin up to date as an accurate “as-built” / “as-is” model of the plant and its assets. The cost associated to build and maintain a 3D model of the plant has long been a hurdle for many plant owners in justifying the investment. With this MOU, Chiyoda is now able to offer affordable solutions that minimize this cost and make the most out of Chiyoda’s engineering and technologies.

“With this collaboration, we have finally realized the long-awaited ultimate solution for providing an immersive experience for plant owners, which has the potential to transform their entire O&M activities.”, said Toru Yoneyama, New Business Development Section Leader of Chiyoda.

 

“We are thrilled to join forces with Chiyoda to deliver this exciting new immersive solution that helps operational teams quickly gain insights from real-time and historical data to make better, faster decisions that optimize plant O&M activities and improve worker safety.” said Brian Hall, Vice President Global Alliances of Visionaize.
