VISDELTEX PROJECT

Industrial Systems Visualization focuses on the integration of Digital Twins (an exact digital replica of physical assets and processes that uses data to reflect their behavior in real time) and Virtual Reality (to navigate the plant, visualize key performance indicators, and simulate test scenarios without running risks) for process optimization.

Its goal is to accelerate the commercial cycle and perform immersive technical validations through user-centered design.

• Full-Line Coverage: The project covers all production stages of the fabric: from the paternoster/materials warehouse, the spreading machine (loading, spreading, and cross-cutting), and the sewing of the parts stack, to the final palletization and output. It also integrates flow logic such as queues and buffers.

• System Mechanism: The operation is divided into three pillars:

1. Process Data: Captures variables such as nominal throughput, transfer times, and buffers.
2. Facts Analyzer: A simulation engine to optimize bottlenecks and evaluate sequences.
3. 3D Visualization: Optimized modeling for platforms such as PCVR and Meta Quest.

• Usage Loop and Impact: The system simulates the usage cycle, including waste recovery and sorting (Scrap Recovery) into three types: trimmable (direct reuse), recoverable (external reprocessing), and final waste.

• Quantified Performance Improvements: Through Facts Analyzer, a final optimization is projected that sets the theoretical efficiency (AVB) at 99%, reduces processing time (relative PT) by 30%, and decreases the mean time to repair (absolute MTTR) by 540 seconds.

• Dashboard Visualization: Three real-time monitoring views are structured:

-General Dashboard: Centralizes actual throughput, average cycle time, and simplified OEE.
-Operation: Shows utilization per station and buffer levels.
-Sustainability: Monitors material efficiency (recording 82% Material Efficiency) and waste per product.

• VR App Features: It allows interaction through teleportation via preconfigured viewpoints, a HUD with real-time parts/hour KPIs, and playback controls (Play, Pause, Slow-motion) for detailed analysis.

• Scalability Roadmap (Milestones): Development is organized into three phases:

-Phase 1: Project signing, KPI definition, and iterative dashboard design.
-Phase 2: Intermediate demo with integration of virtual modeling and basic flow.
-Phase 3: Final delivery of the operational VR application, commercial video, and scaling plan. The architecture is left ready to add new machines at a marginal cost.
