In the ever-evolving landscape of Industry 4.0, Aerys proudly presents SmartShape, a cutting-edge, connected, programmable, and collaborative Digital Twin platform designed to transform the way industries operate. SmartShape is set to revolutionize the naval, military, energy, water treatment, and aerospace sectors, providing a unique solution to the challenges posed by the overwhelming complexity of industrial data.

The Birth of SmartShape:

Born out of the recognition that the industrial landscape was drowning in a sea of complex and fragmented data, SmartShape emerged as a visionary solution to consolidate data into a single, collaborative, and responsive space. The goal was simple yet transformative – to make data not only accessible but visually comprehensible through the creation of intelligent shapes.

The Essence of SmartShape:

SmartShape combines 2D models, 2D plans, photogrammetry, business data, code (including processes, instrumentation, data mining, machine learning, and AI), and collaboration tools in a single, intelligent form. Accessible via tablets and web streaming in 3D, SmartShape seamlessly integrates with all major CAD software, sources of data, and operates as an open API based on web standards.

Key Features of SmartShape:

  • Collaborative and offline modes
  • Integration of conversational AI
  • Compatibility with all CAD software
  • Connectivity with various data sources (PLM, PDM, MES, sensors, etc.)
  • Open API based on web standards
  • Availability on web browsers, tablets, and smartphones
  • Utilization of secure and sovereign hosting
  • Encryption of data for security
  • Compatibility with cloud computing
  • Fight against Digital Duplicates

Real-world Use Cases:

SmartShape has already demonstrated its transformative capabilities in diverse industries. From replacing 2D paper plans at the Chantier de l’Atlantique shipyard to creating a photogrammetric digital twin for Suez’s water treatment network, and assisting Bureau Veritas in transitioning from 2D PDF plans to a collaborative 4D digital twin – SmartShape has proven its versatility and impact.
