Singapore, 21 March 2024 - In a pioneering partnership at the forefront of technological advancement, VIZZIO Technologies Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based company, and FOXCONN INDUSTRIAL INTERNET (FII), the largest subsidiary of the global technology leader FOXCONN, have come together to usher in a transformative era in the manufacturing sector worldwide. This collaborative initiative is dedicated to the creation of digital replicas for World Economic Forum Lighthouse Factories across the globe. Leveraging cutting-edge satellite imaging and artificial intelligence, our objective is to develop immersive 3D representations of urban environments, street perspectives, and interior layouts of manufacturing facilities.
Digital Twins, virtual replicas of physical manufacturing environments, are set to revolutionize how industries operate. By seamlessly integrating advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and real-time analytics, the Digital Twins of Lighthouse Factories bring forth a new era of precision, adaptability, and sustainability in manufacturing processes.
As the world's FIRST LIVE 3D Digital Twin of FII's global manufacturing sites, this achievement marks a significant milestone on the path toward Industry 4.0 excellence. By continually pushing the boundaries of technological innovation, FII reaffirms its commitment to empowering industries for a future defined by efficiency, sustainability, and digital advancement. The Digital Twins serve as innovation hubs, inspiring the industry with cutting-edge practices and methodologies.
FOXCONN INDUSTRIAL INTERNET CDO 刘宗长:
"At FII, we are committed to leading technological advancements that shape the future of industries. Starting with Ingrasys Maufacturing Facility in TaoYuan (Taiwan), FII's partnering with VIZZIO to build digital twins for our Lighthouse Factories, certified by World Economic Forum (WEF) is a testament to our dedication to innovation and efficiency. The collaboration not only enhances our operational capabilities but also reinforces our commitment to sustainable and resilient manufacturing practices."
VIZZIO CEO David See:
"We are thrilled to embark on this transformative journey with FII, leveraging the synergies of deep tech and industry leadership. This collaboration represents a seminal moment in digital manufacturing innovation, where precision converges with sustainability. Our expertise in planet-scale 3D city mapping and modeling, combined with FII's industry prowess, establishes a groundbreaking standard for crafting all-encompassing digital twins for smart factories that redefine operational excellence. The project further empowers VIZZIO to offer a unique and interactive LIVE 3D experience, positioning us at the forefront of the world's foremost manufacturing hubs."
The collaboration between FII and VIZZIO extends across the all FII's WEF Factories and encompasses the following:
Global Scope: The collaboration spans Lighthouse Factories worldwide, creating a standardized digital twin experience for FII's manufacturing hubs globally.
City-Scale Digital Twin: VIZZIO's advanced use of satellite imagery and artificial intelligence in city mapping and modeling serves as the foundational framework for constructing dimensionally and positional accurate photorealistic 3D urban city models. These models provide the essential infrastructure, GIS and 3D maps for creating digital twins across the entirety of FII's worldwide manufacturing facilities, offering an superior alternative to traditional aerial photogrammetry.
Blazing Fast 3D Mapping: The collaboration seamlessly integrates cutting-edge street views and indoor and outdoor 3D maps into the digital twin, supercharged by VIZZIO's groundbreaking rapid 3D mapping workflow. This revolutionary approach not only achieves a dramatic reduction in the cost of digital twin creation but also underscores VIZZIO's unparalleled superiority over traditional terrestrial scanning methods that rely on LIDAR technology, establishing a new benchmark for rapid digital twin techniques.
"LIVE 3D" Factory Virtual Tour: FII and VIZZIO are partnering to include installation of POLYTRON 4K 360 cameras to enhance operational efficiency, enable predictive maintenance, provide real-time LIVE 3D factory floor tours, and advance sustainability practices across their global Lighthouse Factories. The LIVE 3D virtual tour will significantly minimize the necessity for customers to engage in extensive international travel to visit these facilities.
AI-Driven Precision Analytics & Real-Time Insight: State-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms drive advanced analytics and modeling processes, offering real-time visibility into production operations, which enables proactive decision-making and reduces downtime. Furthermore, the end-to-end AI-driven workflow within FII facilities' digital twin environment enhances decision-making by predicting equipment malfunctions, optimizing maintenance scheduling, and minimizing operational disruptions. This streamlined resource utilization, guided by data-driven insights, aligns with sustainability objectives and reduces the environmental footprint.
The implementation of Digital Twins in Lighthouse Factories signifies a pivotal moment in the evolution of manufacturing, aligning with the World Economic Forum's commitment to shaping a sustainable and technologically advanced global economy.
This strategic partnership signifies the convergence of space technology, deep tech innovation, and industry expertise, paving the way for a transformative era in smart manufacturing excellence. FII and VIZZIO, working in unison, are positioned to reshape the future of Industry 4.0 by cultivating an environment that encourages continuous improvement.
