At " COMNEXT 1st [Next Generation] Communication Technology & Solutions Exhibition " held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 28-30, 2023, we introduced our digital twin plugin " MetaGate " and IoE system " Familia ". This report includes demonstrations conducted at our booth.
Exhibited at COMNEXT
COMNEXT (formerly Communication • Broadcasting Week) is an international event themed on next-generation communication technologies. Exhibitors showcased 5G/6G communication technology • materials, communication solutions, optical communication technology, video transmission/8K technology, attracting many visitors from around the world seeking the latest communication technology • systems.
As one of the exhibits by 日清紡ホールディングス株式Company, which serves as development promoter for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 5G Technology Application Development Promotion Project, we exhibited our " People-Friendly and Environmentally-Friendly Smart Solutions ".
" People-Friendly and Environmentally-Friendly Smart Solutions "
At our booth, we exhibited a system that seamlessly connects and centrally manages various IoT devices using IoE technology. We introduced and demonstrated the integrated management controller " Space Controller " for residential • buildings and application " Familia ", as well as " MetaGate ", a technology for realizing high-level digital twins.
Experience Digital Twins Through Demonstrations!
A digital twin is a technology that constructs a twin in virtual space on a computer based on data collected from physical space. At our booth, we demonstrated " MetaGate ", which synchronizes equipment such as doors, smart locks, and lighting with 3D objects in virtual space in real time, allowing many visitors to experience next-generation digital twins.
" MetaGate " enables real-time synchronization between IoT devices in physical space and objects on 3D construction platforms. In the demonstration, visitors could see both spaces synchronizing in real time, with smart devices operating through switch operations in virtual space and operations on Familia being instantly reflected on screen.
Expanding Use Cases for Digital Twins
Digital twin applications are emerging at various scales depending on purpose and target. With the ability to perform advanced analysis and simulation in virtual space and provide high-speed, interactive feedback to physical space, use cases are expected across a wide range of fields including manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and municipal urban problem-solving.
Our company, which aims to create people-friendly and environmentally-friendly spaces, is working on solutions that utilize digital twins to control CO2 concentration, which significantly impacts human productivity. This not only visualizes normally invisible CO2 concentration in an easy-to-understand way in virtual space, but can also be used for simulations when constructing automation for ventilation and air conditioning equipment.
