Digital twins for manufacturing

A factory floor you can finally see in full.

Planning · Maintenance · Asset tracking · Live data

A precise 3D digital twin of your plant — connected to live data, accessible to every team, and built to cut the downtime, travel and guesswork that out-of-date drawings cost you.

The problem

Planning and supporting work on the plant floor costs more time and downtime than it should.

Drawings that don't match realityReconfiguring a line needs an accurate picture of what's already there. Most plants rely on as-built drawings that haven't been updated in years.

Every problem means a site visitWhen a vendor or specialist engineer needs to assess an issue, they travel in — which can mean shutting down part of the line before any work even begins.

Asset records drift from the truthTracking assets across a large facility is hard. Equipment moves, new items arrive, and the paper record slowly diverges from what's actually on the floor.

What you get

One accurate twin. Every plant-floor job, easier.

The same capture works across planning, maintenance, asset management and safety.

Accurate layout & reconfiguration

Plan line changes and new equipment placement from the model — not from out-of-date drawings.

Remote engineering support

Share the plant twin before a vendor travels. Many scoping trips become unnecessary.

Asset location & tracking

Tag machinery and equipment inside the model, with live sensor data pinned in place. Locate any asset in seconds.

Safety & documentation record

A timestamped visual record supports risk assessments, maintenance planning and regulatory documentation.

In practice

Live data, pinned to the machine it came from.

Where the digital twin stops being a record and starts driving decisions.

01

Contextual asset interfaces & predictive maintenance

Telemetry is only useful if a technician can trace it to a place. A flat dashboard flagging an overheating bearing or a pressure drop still leaves the team hunting across the floor — and that costs uptime.

We link live sensor data directly to the photorealistic model. Maintenance engineers pull up the physical location, visual orientation and component schematics before opening a single safety cage.

Our platform
RealityLayer Live

Most providers hand you a static tour and walk away. RealityLayer Live is different — we capture the twin, connect it to your live data, and build the bespoke tools your teams actually need to act on it.

  • Live IoT integration

    Connect real sensor feeds — temperature, vibration, occupancy, RPM — directly to the assets in your twin.

  • Bespoke programming

    Custom dashboards, guided workflows, asset panels and integrations — built to your exact operational need.

  • Full-service delivery

    Strategy, capture, integration and ongoing support from one team — no reseller chain, no handoffs.
