From Model to Shared Decision. How an Immersive 360° Space Transforms Production and Warehouse Process Analysis

Modern manufacturing enterprises are increasingly using digital models of their facilities to design new lines, optimize logistics, and analyze material flows. However, a problem arises when the results of such analyses need to be discussed with the whole team.

Production Process Analysis in 360°

Process models are usually presented on computer monitors, making joint analysis and discussion difficult. Each participant looks at a small screen from their own perspective, and understanding the dependencies between workstations, the warehouse, or internal transport requires constant rotation of the view and explaining what the operator currently sees.

This is precisely the problem that SimuCore solves.

From a Digital Model to a Shared Workspace

SimuCore allows you to transfer an interactive model of a production or warehouse process into the immersive SimuDome space. Instead of analyzing the project on a monitor, the entire team is inside the 360° image surrounding the participants.

This is not a pre-rendered animation.

The model remains fully interactive. The operator can navigate through the plant live, change perspectives, zoom in on selected areas, and present the process operation exactly as they would on their computer. The whole group observes the same changes simultaneously, which significantly facilitates decision-making.

Process Analysis at a Scale That Makes a Difference

Displaying the model on a 360° screen allows you to view the process as a single, cohesive system.

It makes it significantly easier to notice:

  • material flow between workstations,
  • where queues and bottlenecks form,
  • warehouse space utilization,
  • organization of internal transport,
  • interdependencies between production lines,
  • the impact of changes in one area on the entire plant’s operation.

As a result, discussions move away from individual screens or charts and focus on the actual operation of the process.

Collaborative Analysis Instead of Presentations

One of the greatest advantages of working in SimuDome is the ability for the entire team to participate at the same time.

People responsible for production, logistics, maintenance, planning, management, as well as external partners can all meet in one place. Everyone observes the exact same image and jointly analyzes proposed solutions.

This approach significantly reduces the time required to reach decisions and eliminates many misunderstandings resulting from interpreting data presented on traditional monitors.

Live Interaction with the Model

SimuCore enables real-time interaction with the model.

During a meeting, you can:

  • navigate through the plant’s digital model,
  • analyze various process operation scenarios,
  • present alternative production or warehouse layouts,
  • discuss the impact of planned changes with the entire team,
  • conduct design workshops and decision-making meetings.

This solution proves effective both when designing new investments and optimizing existing processes.

Technology That Supports Collaboration

SimuDome does not replace the tools used by engineers for process modeling. It expands their capabilities by moving digital models into a shared immersive space.

Thanks to SimuCore technology, it is possible to seamlessly display and operate models in real time on a 360° screen, transforming analyses from solitary work at a computer into a shared team experience.

This is a new way to conduct design workshops, logistics analyses, and production optimization meetings—more engaging, more intuitive, and significantly more effective in building a shared understanding of processes.
