The Challenge: Complex Operations, Limited VisibilityFactories

Complex Operations, Limited VisibilityFactories are at the heart of industries like manufacturing and food & beverage, using advanced machines and complex workflows to produce quality products efficiently. However, many companies hesitate to showcase their facilities fully to clients or partners, fearing exposure of sensitive information. Instead, they rely on static images or simple videos that don’t truly capture the complexity or precision of their operations.

This posed a challenge for a major global wine and spirits producer with 24 bottling facilities across India. They wanted to highlight their bottling process’s precision, quality, and safety to clients while protecting proprietary details. Additionally, they faced internal training challenges, as letting new employees operate machinery without prior exposure risked accidents or equipment damage.

The Solution : A Customized Virtual Factory Walkthrough

Detailed 3D Capture: High-precision scans of the bottling line captured every step, from cleaning and filling to capping and labeling. This created a realistic digital twin of the facility’s workflow.

Privacy Controls: Sensitive machinery and proprietary components were digitally blurred to protect trade secrets.
Interactive Experience: The virtual tour included hotspots with extra information and multimedia content to explain each stage clearly.
Retail Simulation: The experience extended beyond the factory floor to show how the products appear in luxury retail settings.
