Solution 01

Show your machinewithout shipping it

The size of an excavator disappears in a catalogue. In a 1:1 digital twin the customer stands beside the machine, climbs into the cab, looks under the hood.

Scale is not described,it is entered

The hardest part of selling heavy equipment is that the product cannot come to the customer. A photo cannot convey scale, a video cannot be interacted with, and a trade fair means freight, rigging, insurance and a return trip every single time.

A digital twin solves all three at once: the machine sits at full scale in a scene, the customer walks around it, opens a panel, runs the moving assembly. When the presentation ends, the machine is still in production.

How it is built

  1. Model

    If you have CAD files they are used directly. If not, the machine is measured by 3D scanning and turned into a digital twin.

    CAD or 3D scan
  2. Scene

    The machine is placed at true scale on a ground plane, with surroundings, light and distance. The sense of scale is built in this step.

    True scale
  3. Interaction

    Panels open, parts separate, hydraulics and drivetrain run. Everything you want to explain becomes something you can show.

    Exploded view
  4. Delivery

    The same presentation runs on a headset at the booth, on a laptop at the customer’s desk, and remotely. In a hall without internet, the local network is enough.

Whatchanges

  • The machine is in many places at once

    A single physical demo unit is in one place at a time. A digital twin can open at three customers in three countries in the same week.

  • Booth and freight costs disappear

    Transport, cranes, rigging, insurance and the return leg fall outside the presentation. Even the choice of hall stops depending on machine dimensions.

  • Configuration changes live

    A different boom length, a different bucket, a different cab package: switched from a list, and the customer sees the result in the same second.

  • The inside is visible without disassembly

    The hydraulic circuit under the hood, the cooling loop or the gearbox is shown without loosening a single bolt on the real machine.

What a presentation package includes

Scope depends on the complexity of the machine; the items below are the core of every presentation project.

  • 1:1 digital twin with material treatment
  • Guided presentation tour and free roaming
  • Exploded views and moving-assembly animations
  • Live switching between configuration options
  • Multilingual narration and labels
  • An offline package for trade fairs

Frequently askedabout this solution

FAQ

What if there is no 3D model of the machine?

The physical machine can be measured by 3D scanning (photogrammetry or LiDAR) and turned into a digital twin. At project start we review whatever CAD, drawings and photographs you have and pick the most suitable method.

Does it work at a booth with no internet?

Yes. The presentation is installed as a local package on the headset itself; if there are several participants, the session runs over the local network. A cloud connection is only needed to push content updates.

What if the customer has never used a VR headset?

That is what presenter mode is for: the presenter holds control, the participant looks around and interacts only where they are guided. A customer who would rather not wear a headset can follow the same presentation on a screen.
