InDI - Industrial Digital Interface

MAKING BIG DATA MANAGEABLE

The data available to industry is growing exponentially. While this provides us with greater insights and analysis, the siloed nature of this data makes it hard to see a complete picture.

These silos get in the way of your team’s ability to make brilliant decisions, frustrating high performers and hurting your business.

WHAT IS INDI?

Sentient’s Industrial Digital Twin Interface or InDI solution is an easy-to-use Digital Interface to your existing data sources. 

The 3D virtual, interactive environment empowers everyone in your organisation to effectively navigate, collaborate and access relevant information. 

InDI enables effective remote work and ensures that people have fast easy access to the most up-to-date and relevant information.

Our digital twin vr products including digital twin mining and digital twin construction solutions help solve problems for mining operations, processing plants, oil and gas platforms, refineries and other industrial operations.

THE PLATFORM

The Sentient Digital Asset Pipeline is an automatable model processing pipeline that accepts industry standard CAD models and outputs Unity-ready models with best-in-class optimisation.

THE PIPELINE

RAPID TIME TO VALUE

This pipeline allows us to quickly establish a base environment.

SEAMLESS SOURCE MODEL UPDATES

Environment is evergreened through automatic processing of Source model updates.

CASE STUDY 1: REDUCING SITE TOURISM FOR A MAJOR RESOURCE COMPANY

Traveling to remote assets is a significant cost and safety risk to many resource companies. By using InDI, one of our customers was able to enhance their remote capability to monitor and evaluate site performance from anywhere in the world.

Engaging SMEs wherever they happened to be, allowed them to operate with fewer specialist personnel on site. This customer estimates savings in the first few months of deployment that cover the entire deployment cost of InDI.

CHALLENGE

>  Remote site with round trips costing upwards of 10k AUD
>  Tight labour market, with specialist functions located all around the world
>  Limited remote visibility of the asset
>  Complex and dense asset, leading to difficulty communicating issues between Site and Office.

OUTCOME

>  InDI deployed, providing a 3D spatial environment with data mapped to DMS and ERP
>  Reduced site tourism resulted in savings estimated at upwards of 3million per year.
>  Better decision making through the engagement of remote specialists.A first step towards workflow automation.

CASE STUDY 2: ENABLING GOOD BEHAVIOUR THROUGH FUNCTIONAL WORKFLOWS‍

Large organisations often have many detailed procedures and information stored in numerous silos.

A major safety incident attributed to the use of uncontrolled documentation prompted a Tier-1 miner to look for a way to do things better, and to provide easier access to correct, controlled information. They found InDI.

InDI was deployed to each of their major sites, providing users with aggregated data systems that are accessible through a rich 3D spatial interface. InDI’s approach simplified data access for employees across their organisation, saving them time and increasing their compliance to procedures.

CHALLENGE

>  Employees found document access difficult and engaged in bad practices such as using uncontrolled offline copies of critical documentation
>  Finding key information required exploratory and iterative searching as key information was spread across multiple systems
>  Brown-field sites with poor consistency in asset tagging across systems and mixed quality of source 3D content.

OUTCOME

>  InDI deployed in stages to allow iterative improvement of asset tagging and source models
>  Value delivered from day 1, with increased value at each stage in the process.
>  Currently aggregating all of the customers key data sources at all of their sites.
>  Reduced time to find information, saving millions in wasted employee time
>  Better participation across the organisation in compliance to procedures
>  Workflow optimisation with plans for further workf

What is a digital twin?

A digital twin is a virtual (digital) replica of a physical object, system, or process that simulates its real-world counterpart and is used for analysis, monitoring, or optimisation.

What are the benefits of using a digital twin?

Using a digital twin enables enhanced real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved decision-making, driving optimisation of operations and reduction in costs.

What types of things can digital twins be used for?

Digital twins can be used for a variety of applications, such as optimising operational production lines by simulating equipment performance, managing smart cities by monitoring infrastructure and energy use, enhancing healthcare by personalising treatment plans through patient-specific models, and improving automotive design by testing virtual prototypes before physical manufacturing. Digital twins are also used in the resources industry as a tool to familiarise the fly in / fly out workforce with site conditions & processes ahead of them arriving on site to undertake their duties.
