Digital Twin (3D Visualization)

The digital twin is a 3D rendering of your facility with assets placed in their physical locations. It is optional, gated behind the digital_twin_3d feature, and most useful for large or complex sites.

What you can do

Walk the facility virtually and click an asset for details, recent work orders, and color-coded status (green, yellow, red). Apply spatial filtering to highlight only assets due for PM, active alerts, or criticality-5. Use path planning to compute an optimal route when many PMs are assigned to one tech in one day. Train new technicians before they walk the floor.

Building the twin

Upload floor plans (DWG, IFC, or BIM) and let Rivolq place assets by zone, or import a 3D model (GLTF or GLB) for higher fidelity. Without either, you get a schematic twin showing assets as labeled blocks, which is still useful for navigation. If sensors are connected, real-time readings can overlay on assets, with a node pulsing red when a threshold is exceeded.

When to use it and tips

Use the twin for large facilities, multiple new staff, or spatial planning like routing and evacuation. Skip it when techs can locate any asset by name. Do not aim for photorealism; accurate placement matters more. Keep zones in sync so the twin re-places assets automatically. Floor plans handle 2D asset pins and field navigation; the twin adds 3D spatial context.
