This collaboration focuses on creating digital twins for World Economic Forum (WEF) Lighthouse Factories worldwide, leveraging advanced satellite imaging and artificial intelligence to develop immersive 3D representations of manufacturing environments, the trio said in a statement on Monday.

According to the statement, digital twins, virtual replicas of physical environments, are revolutionizing industry operations by integrating artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and real-time analytics.

This technology enhances precision, adaptability, and sustainability in manufacturing processes, setting new benchmarks for Industry 4.0 excellence.

It is noted that Vizzio Technologies and Fii have launched the first live 3D digital twin of FII’s global manufacturing sites, marking a significant milestone in smart manufacturing.

This achievement not only highlights the technological prowess of Vizzio Technologies but also sets a new standard for digital innovation in the manufacturing sector.

By creating a digital twin of a manufacturing site, companies can monitor, analyze, and optimize their operations in real-time, leading to significant improvements in efficiency and productivity.

This partnership also spans FII’s WEF-certified Lighthouse Factories globally, standardizing digital twin experiences across all manufacturing hubs.

It also underscores the commitment of Vizzio Technologies, FII, and INGRASYS to drive innovation and excellence in the manufacturing industry.

By leveraging the strengths and expertise of each partner, this initiative aims to create a unified and standardized digital twin platform that can be deployed across various manufacturing sites worldwide.

Utilizing Vizzio’s satellite imagery and AI, the collaboration constructs accurate photorealistic 3D models, providing superior alternatives to traditional methods.

This advanced technology integration allows for the creation of highly detailed and accurate digital representations of physical environments, enabling better decision-making and operational efficiency.

The use of satellite imagery and AI ensures that the digital twins are not only accurate but also scalable and adaptable to various manufacturing environments.

It is noted that Vizzio’s rapid 3D mapping workflow integrates cutting-edge street views and indoor/outdoor 3D maps, significantly reducing digital twin creation costs compared to traditional LIDAR methods.

This cost-effective approach allows more companies to adopt digital twin technology, democratizing access to advanced manufacturing solutions.

By reducing the costs and time required to create digital twins, Vizzio Technologies is making it easier for companies to implement and benefit from this transformative technology.

The partnership also includes installing POLYTRON 4K 360 cameras, enabling real-time virtual tours, enhancing operational efficiency, and advancing sustainability practices.

These real-time 3D virtual tours provide an immersive and interactive experience, allowing stakeholders to remotely monitor and manage manufacturing operations.

This not only reduces the need for physical site visits but also enhances transparency and collaboration among teams.

“Partnering with Vizzio Technologies to build digital twins for our Lighthouse Factories demonstrates our commitment to innovation and sustainable manufacturing practices,” said
Zongchang Liu, Chief Data Officer (CDO) of FII.

“This collaboration is a testament to our dedication to driving technological advancements that shape the future of industries,

“By leveraging the capabilities of digital twins, we are able to enhance our operational efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve our sustainability goals,” he added.

FII, a subsidiary of Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn Group, renowned for assembling products for leading companies such as Apple—focuses on driving innovation in smart manufacturing, industrial internet solutions, cloud computing, and AI.

The firm was established to capitalize on Foxconn’s vast manufacturing expertise and spearhead the development of Industry 4.0 technologies.

Its core businesses include the development of advanced robotics, automated assembly lines, and IoT systems aimed at optimizing production efficiency and reducing operational costs.

The company is also integrating big data and AI into its manufacturing processes, providing cutting-edge technological solutions to other industrial players.

In 2018, FII was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This move was part of Foxconn’s broader strategy to diversify its operations beyond traditional electronics manufacturing, expanding into high-tech and value-added services.

“This collaboration with FII represents a seminal moment in digital manufacturing innovation, where precision converges with sustainability,” said Jon Lee, Founder of Vizzio.

“Our expertise in 3D city mapping, combined with FII’s industry leadership, establishes a new standard for smart factories,

“We are thrilled to be part of this transformative journey, which not only enhances our technological capabilities but also reaffirms our commitment to driving innovation and excellence in the manufacturing sector,” he added.

According to the statement, the state-of-the-art AI algorithms drive advanced analytics and modelling processes, offering real-time visibility into production operations.

This enables proactive decision-making, reduces downtime, optimizes maintenance scheduling, and aligns with sustainability objectives.

By leveraging AI-driven precision analytics, companies can gain deeper insights into their operations, identify potential issues before they escalate, and make data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency and productivity.

The integration of AI algorithms into the digital twin platform also ensures that the data collected is accurate, relevant, and actionable.

Vizzio Technologies is involved in creating detailed 3D city models using satellite imagery and AI.

The firm produces immersive digital twins of cities globally, integrating multi-resolution data and machine learning for real-time insights and modelling.

Established in 2020, it has mapped over 1 million square kilometers of urban space, filed 34 patents, and saved 75% of time compared to traditional methods.
