The industrial metaverse:
Visualize and control your smart factory — in real time
A comprehensive view of your production system, visualized in 3D, and the ability to interact with it in the metaverse. Sound like sci-fi? But the benefits couldn’t be more real.
Bring all your production systems into the metaverse, where you can track and monitor factory production in real time — through a multidimensional digital twin. Sure, it ticks all the boxes of a modern production control system. But it also goes far beyond, giving you a competitive advantage that drives profits.

New possibilities for your smart factory
Complete transparency
Use 360° view of your production systems from anywhere.
Receive a holistic overview of your production systems and material flows for complete process transparency — in real time, and from anywhere.
Data in context
The right data in the right location.
Generate and save contextualized data about your production and have it displayed in your digital twin.
Real-time control
Control reality from inside a virtual world
Control your physical production systems intuitively using the Ascon Systems Automation Platform. Changes in production processes are immediately visible in the metaverse.

Re-thinking the factory of the future
Production processes are undergoing monumental changes. Not only are systems and processes becoming more complex, product lifecycles are also getting shorter. Rising energy costs and a shortage of trained personnel are also forcing manufacturers to explore new approaches. Inflexible, hardcoded production systems can’t keep pace with the demands of our times. What we need are resilient, agile, efficient, and future-proof production facilities. With a flexible value chain, comprehensive data contextualization, and a connection to the metaverse.
Real-time visualization
See what’s happening: Follow physical material flows and processes in sync with your physical machines from a virtualized, multidimensional digital twin.
Two-way interaction
Make changes easily — control your production system from the metaverse. Changes in material flows are immediately visible in the metaverse.
Digital records
Say goodbye to mountains of documentation — get both real-time and historical data digitally to enable optimization, tracking, and more.
Interface for third parties
There’s no need to re-invent the wheel. Use third party systems to add real-time process data via the Ascon Industrial Metaverse Portal, then upload it all to the metaverse.
Case Study: BMW
BMW: a digital twin with Ascon Systems in the metaverse
The BMW Group is constantly working on innovative IT solutions to power the factory of the future. At the BMW Innovation Hub in Dingolfing, we deployed the Ascon Systems Automation Platform on a flexible automated assembly system and coupled it to the Nvidia Omniverse platform.
Digital twin technology
The digital twin: bringing the model to life
A static digital twin is already an invaluable asset for production planning and more. The Ascon Industrial Metaverse Portal takes that twin and breathes life into it — by ingesting real-time contextual data. You can then access this data-enriched twin as a real-time 3D visualization using a graphics engine such as NVIDIA’s Omniverse or Threedy’s instant3dhub.
It’s not magic — just very advanced, disruptive technology.

Your platform for automation
Ascon Systems Automation Platform:
Maximum flexibility through intelligent automation
The Industrial Metaverse Portal is part of the Ascon Systems Automation Platform, which allows you to transform any programmable physical process into a digital one. It grants your production a completely new level of flexibility and agility. Use Ascon Systems to completely model and control your future-ready production line.
01.
Model the connectivity itself
Interfaces between IT and OT no longer need to be hard-coded. Instead, use standardized connectors to link physical processes with your logic model. Upgrade your production system with the flexible, independent, and highly adaptable Ascon Systems Automation Platform. It lets your production planning adapt effortlessly to rapidly changing manufacturing realities.
02.
Easily design the logic
There is no longer any need to program a factory or control sequence. Transform your processes by simply modeling the behavior, interactions, and other possible states. You can re-use your model anywhere.
03.
Optimize and change, anytime
Now, you’re perfectly equipped to adapt to the constantly changing demands of production. Our low-code technology supports planners so that they can optimize and make changes at any time.
04.
Deploy rapidly, anywhere
Production control needs to react quickly. That’s why we offer the matching
high-performance communications infrastructure for your models — on the edge, in the cloud, or in hybrid mode.
