About smartAR
Developed for companies who build large and complex scale prototypes where the goal is to reduce the number or variations of prototypes produced. smartAR™ augments a digital twin over top a live camera feed of a real world, physical object, maintaining scale, placement and position of the CAD model relative to the object. A tablet is used to view the digital twin but the tablet’s position and orientation is monitored by an external motion tracking system. Tracking the tablet enables very high precision when overlaying a digital twin on a real world object. As the user moves around the physical object, virtual images on the tablet remain fixed relative to the object. Virtual data can be ‘snapped to position’ on the real world object with accuracy better than 3 millimeters in most stationary views. Mechdyne’s TGX software is used to access high resolution CAD data from a central workstation/servers to minimize latency on the tablet.

Visionary Render
The low-code desktop application to create enterprise scale visualizations. Essential metadata and deep assembly tree structures found within high end CAD solutions are preserved allowing for complex assets and systems to be thoroughly reviewed without loss of performance. Complex CAD models can be imported in three minutes, the scene fully detailed and animated, in a contextual environment, in three hours, and a full visual digital twin available within three days. Fail early, but virtually, to routinely deliver more ambitious projects with reduced cost and risk. Safely investigate more innovative concepts while involving a broader range of experts. Many structured and unstructured data formats, such as CAD, BIM, point clouds, and IoT and MES outputs can be imported into a scene. This results in rich virtual models of real world scenarios, and provides a platform for contextual digital twins.

GE Digital Twin
Apply advanced analytics and machine learning to reduce operational costs and risks. Digital twins are a key piece of the digital transformation puzzle. They create an accurate virtual replica of physical objects, assets, and systems to boost productivity, streamline operations and increase profits. Digital Twin is most commonly defined as a software representation of a physical asset, system or process designed to detect, prevent, predict, and optimize through real time analytics to deliver business value. At GE Digital, we are focused on how digital twin software can help our customers across three core areas: Asset, Network, and Process. Monitor, simulate and control an asset, process or network as an effective strategy to improve system performance. Protect the health and safety of employees, the environment, and business objectives, by reducing asset- and process-related incidents and avoiding unplanned downtime.

DC-E DigitalClone for Engineering
DigitalClone® for Engineering is the world's only gearbox reliability prediction solution integrating multiple scales of analysis in a single software package. In addition to modeling and analysis capabilities at the gearbox and gear/bearing levels, DC-E is the only solution available that models fatigue life based on detailed, physics-based models of the material microstructure (US Patent 10474772B2).
DC-E enables construction of a gearbox digital twin with high value across all stages of the lifecycle of the physical asset - from design and manufacturing optimization to component supplier selection to failure root cause analysis to condition-based maintenance and to prognostics. This computational environment drives down the time and cost to bring new designs to the market and to sustain them over time.
