Natural disasters and twinzo

How we see solving natural disasters in the future?

Do you want to know how we see solving natural disasters in the future?

In Lužice, where our colleague Jiří Žíla lives, he experienced a tornado a year ago! A digital twin for the emergency services would be a great help, so we are providing examples of use.

‍

We will summarize the idea we came to based on our personal experience:

‍

• Within 24 hours, it is necessary to create a digital twin of the affected area from the standard cadastral map - an active map where we will work with GPS coordinates.

• Assemble a team of coordinators, each with a tablet in which the digital twin of the given territory will be recorded. Everyone divides the area into sectors of about 10 houses and they become communication links with the main coordinator.

• Technically, it is only necessary to have access to the Internet, i.e. secure a data signal from mobile stations from mobile operators and have enough cars/power stations where tablets or phones can be charged. In case the power goes out for several days.

Tutorial: Automate your orderings

Idle time is one of the biggest areas for optimization in factory operations. It occurs when production stops due to material shortages, equipment breakdowns, or other disruptions that require maintenance. Reducing idle time is critical for improving efficiency and minimizing downtime.

Tutorial: Scan your model with iPhone

With the latest iPhones and iPads, you can quickly create LiDAR scans of your surroundings or objects. From our experience, for optimal results, it is best to limit scans to around 300 square meters, as this ensures better manageability and accuracy.

Tutorial: Forklift optimization DIY

We made it easy for you to do the first pilot on your own. We are confident that you will be able to install this technology on roughly 1000 square meters yourself following this tutorial. What will you need: Approximately 20 BLE beacons (you can buy them from our recommended vendors HERE)

How to scan your facility

Photogrammetry and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning are powerful technologies that have revolutionized the way we capture and create 3D models of the real world. These techniques find applications in fields ranging from architecture and construction to archaeology and gaming.

twinzo Excel

In today's digital age, companies are constantly seeking ways to enhance their business processes, and one of the most promising technological advancements in this regard is the development of digital twins. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a real-life entity, be it a product, a process, or an entire system.

AOS as an integral part of Digital twin

As supply chains get more complex and global, they become more volatile in times of disruption. Global pandemic disrupted the market both on the supply side and on delivery. This strain is exposing neglected shortcomings of external and internal logistics.

Getting started with RTLS

Location technologies can be a very complex topic, but we can help you with understanding basic concepts, that can help you to make the correct decision. It's important to know, that twinzo can combine several technologies in a single building, enabling our customers cost-optimized ways how to implement RTLS.

Logistics Analysis with Digital Twin

Where to start with digital twins in manufacturing? Well, we usually start with internal logistics. Why? Because there are enormous losses = the highest ROI! How is that? Logistics is often the last one in optimization! People think "they are just delivery boys"... 🙄 If logistics were so easy, armies wouldn't fail because of missing stuff - not just nowadays.

Digital twins - future trend

The digital twin concept originated in the early 1990s, so it is not new at all. In the nearly 30 years of its existence, several definitions of what digital can be were created. ‍ While for some it is purely data stored somewhere in a database or in a file system, for others it is a BIM model (Building Information Management), for another, it is a simulation software of production processes, for us, it is live data collection and 3D visualization.

What is industrial metaverse?

There are many complicated explanations of what is the metaverse and that it is the future that will come in 10 years. Truth is, that metaverse is already here, at least in parts. Because #metaverse is just interconnected, real-time digital twins, exactly like we do in @twinzo. ‍ So building blocks of metaverse are available and already affordable, which is proved by companies in CEE that already operate such digital twins.

Industrial metaverse - from vision to reality

You may be wondering why the term “metaverse” is being used to describe a virtual environment. The reason is simple: it's a term that has been used by science fiction writers and other people interested in VR, AR, and MR for decades.

Digital Twin sources

The first step towards a digital twin is the creation of a digital model of the object or environment. This step can be difficult, but there are multiple options for creating an accurate representation. ‍ One way towards creating a digital twin is to accurately represent the digital model of the physical object or environment.

3D Visualization benefits

3D visualization can be used in a wide range of industries, from construction and government to healthcare and sports. Some common benefits include cost savings, safety and security, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. But what are the specifics?

Importance of Digital Twin accessibility

I remember when I first got my smartphone. It was exciting to have this powerful little device that could keep me connected 24/7, but it also presented a new challenge: How do I efficiently use the available technology? Having a phone in your pocket is great, but how do you make sure it's more than just a distraction?

Managing ports with digital twin

As you might know, ports are facilities that are essential to trade and the economy. They are also very complex and use a lot of different equipment. It’s important to have a good understanding of what is happening in these facilities if we want them to operate safely and efficiently.

Using AI camera vision for smart buffer management

A lot of our customers are looking into increasing their automation footprint, especially in logistics, where this area was neglected for far too long. Quite often, when looking for a solution, they come to us, to see how we can help. Unfortunately, we do not manufacture AGVs or AMR.

Managing airports with digital twin

Airports are hubs in which we can find airlines, terminals, waiting areas, and a wide variety of shops and services. On the other hand, it is becoming more complex to manage due to the increase in air traffic and the growth of individualized services.

Platform stores impact on software distribution

Platform stores have revolutionized the way we distribute software. They’ve made it easier than ever to get access to the latest features and functionality in our favorite apps while also providing opportunities for developers to improve their products.

Bug in Google Chrome

Recently, a bug in Google Chrome has been causing issues with the canvas functionality and disabling the setup of layers and areas in Twinzo. The canvas functionality allows users to draw and sketch their areas, while the layer feature enables them to organize their drawings into different layers.

Navigating the World of 3D Modeling

The world of 3D modeling is a diverse and creative space where technology meets artistry. Whether you're an aspiring digital artist, an architect, or a hobbyist looking to explore the realm of 3D design, you'll find a plethora of tools at your disposal.

Celebrating Innovation in Prague

Prague became the backdrop for a remarkable event showcasing Czech architecture's elite. Michal Ukropec, despite his admission of drawing skills akin to a toddler, found himself standing among renowned industry leaders. The surprise of winning the "Innovation of the Year" category left Michal and his team proud.

Pushing the Boundaries

Sometimes, unexpected questions have the power to ignite new paths and possibilities. Michal Ukropec found himself at a crossroads when an attending publisher proposed writing a book about leadership. Uncertain if Industry 4.0 was his expertise topic, Michal reflects on this intriguing proposition.
