3D data streaming of the entire process chain: Any size, any data, any device

This podcast episode is about how 3D information is brought into the process chain. With Siemens Large Drives, we are operating in an area where a lot of power and drive force is needed: large pump systems, compressors, ventilation systems, rolling mills or ships. 3D streaming is expected to improve the efficiency of these plants and reduce emissions. 4Soft GmbH develops custom-fit software systems in the course of digital transformation. Threedy GmbH is a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics in Darmstadt. Threedy develops and markets the visual computing-as-a-service platform instant3Dhub. Together with Siemens Large Drives, they are rethinking industrial 3D applications with a focus on service. Three use cases are discussed in this episode: Collaboration on the 3D model: enabling different users across the process chain to work together and directly The live visualization, especially also of IoT data: not just a product view, but also the data that is linked to it Aftersales with 3D data: “guided” repair by maintenance specialists The interview guests for the 60th episode are: Thomas Barthel (Director Business Development, Threedy), Klaus Bergner (Managing Director, 4Soft) and Alexander Santiago (Product Owner @ Immsersive Experiences, Siemens AG).
