Industrial metaverse – opportunities and challenges
April 27, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Members/Non-members
The current focus when it comes to the Metaverse is mostly on the world of games, online retail and social media, but there is much more potential for industries that make up the backbones of our economies. Sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, energy and infrastructure will be revolutionized when real machines and factories, buildings and cities, grids and transportation systems are mirrored in the virtual world.
In the digital environment, problems can be found, analyzed, and fixed quickly – even discovered before they arise. People can work together across different locations as if they were together in the same room, in front of the same machines or objects – that is where innovation takes off.
What does this mean to your business? What are the opportunities and challenges? Join our webinar to learn more.
