Cut through the hype: Harnessing the power of the industrial metaverse in energy, chemicals and infrastructure
Discover how the industrial metaverse is poised to transform operations in capital-asset-intensive industries
The industrial metaverse is the concept of a digital world that mirrors and simulates real machines and factories, buildings and cities, grids and transportation systems. It allows for the interaction of infinite people and assets and offers immersion into a physics-based, photo-realistic and real-time simulation.
Hype and buzzwords aside, what opportunities does the industrial metaverse offer energy owner-operators and EPCs?
In this on-demand webinar, energy leaders from Siemens cut through the noise to explore:
- The real-world strategic potential of the industrial metaverse for capital-asset-intensive industries like energy, chemicals and infrastructure
- How the development and implementation of a comprehensive digital twin, which is a physics-informed model synchronized with physical reality, is central to the industrial metaverse strategy
- Ways the industrial metaverse can enhance workforce training and development by offering high-fidelity, realistic simulations for complex and hazardous tasks
- How the industrial metaverse is poised to transform energy business operations, decision-making and sustainability in the coming years
