A digital validation of the design variation to reduce prototype builds or solve build issues while increasing innovation.

Digital twin solutions are emerging throughout smart factories everywhere. Virtual replicas of factory floors provide real-time information about processes, system health, performance and more. But why not apply digital twin methodology in other manufacturing stages, such as quality control?

FARO® Technologies, Inc., announced the acquisition of UK-based GeoSLAM, a leading provider of mobile scanning solutions with proprietary high-productivity simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software to create 3D models for use in Digital Twin applications.

Experts agree that, among other tools, digital twins are emerging as stars of smart factories. These are 3D duplicates of parts, products, and buildings.
