Digital twins for industrial assets

From an archive of drawings and manuals to equipment you can open part by part: each component with its documentation, inspections and work orders, and the planned outage prepared well in advance.

  • Modelling from CAD or PDF
  • 3D exploded view
  • Documentation by part
  • Planned outages
  • CMMS integration

What we build

The equipment, its documentation and its maintenance. Connected.

For industrial contractors, concession holders and operation and maintenance companies at factories, power plants, water treatment works and process plants.

01

Modelling and inventory

Reconstruction from CAD or PDF, equipment classification and component identification using the codes the plant already uses.

BIM modelling →
02

Knowledge by asset

Manuals, data sheets, drawings and history attached to each part. This is the base the document copilot answers from.

Document copilots →
03

Operation and maintenance

Inspections, findings, work orders and close-out evidence in an application built around your process.

O&M applications →

NEXORA T-01: from exploded view to maintenance file

A turbine of our own design, to scale, to show how a digital twin is used: select a part, measure it, check its data sheet and open an inspection order.

Model
Exploded view by assembly, section, measurement on the geometry and a data sheet for each component.
Documentation
Drawings, technical data sheet and procedures linked to the selected part.
Inspection
A finding with photo and location on the model, assessment and a work order with its traceability.

Demonstration · Fictitious contract

Control of an industrial maintenance contract

For the maintenance contractor: which intervention is coming up, what still has to be prepared for the outage and which additional work needs the client's approval.

Planning
Maintenance horizon by equivalent operating hours and starts for each unit, with its rule and document reference.
Outage
Scope, procedures, staff, spare parts and permits for the planned outage.
Findings
Each finding becomes corrective work with evidence, assessment and approval of the additional cost.
Finance
Orders, stores, timesheets and acceptance, keeping contract cost apart from extra work.

How we start

One critical item of equipment first.

We choose the asset that causes the most outages or queries and digitise it completely before moving on to the rest of the plant.

  1. Source documentation

    CAD or PDF drawings, manuals, spare parts lists and intervention history.

  2. Model and coding

    Geometry, breakdown and equipment codes aligned with your CMMS.

  3. Maintenance application

    Inspections, orders and outages with the statuses and permissions of your process.

  4. Integration and extension

    Connection with the CMMS or ERP after reviewing their interfaces, and extension to more equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Industrial digital twin: common questions

Do we need the manufacturer's original CAD files?

Not necessarily. We can rebuild the geometry from PDF drawings; the geometric scope and checks are agreed for each facility.

Does it replace our CMMS?

No. The twin provides the geometry and documentation by part; work orders can stay in the CMMS and be synchronised where its interfaces allow.

Does it connect to real-time sensors?

It can, if the plant has the data and access is authorised. The connection is defined and tested in each project; it is not a requirement to get started.

Can the model's dimensions be used to manufacture spare parts?

They do not replace a physical measurement or the manufacturer's drawings. The model shows which document each dimension comes from and with what accuracy.

Your facility

Which item of equipment gives you the most work?

Send us its drawings and manual and we will propose how to turn it into a digital twin and a maintenance application.
