The report lays out the fast pace of change of energy companies using 3D and immersive technologies throughout their enterprises.
“The industry leaders are embracing this technology to help build velocity around the real-time economy,” said Jim Bowen, a manager in Unity’s Solutions Team, in the paper. “The ones that aren’t will likely be left behind.”
Technology providers like Unity are working to overcome some of the biggest challenges faced by the energy industry, including regulatory requirements, market pricing, demand, and the need to do more while watching costs. These challenges are being fought head-on with digital transformation and emerging technology—which come with challenges themselves.
Unity offers real-time 3D technologies as the next step in putting data at the forefront of energy organizations and making that data consumable across organizations. Enterprises can use this technology to improve operations, increase safety, save costs, and more.
The report highlights the top use cases for real-time 3D technology in energy:
Maintenance and operations
Learning and training
Design collaboration
Unity’s platform is being deployed to create digital twins of power stations, monitor pipeline operations in real time, access critical information about offshore assets, put experts in the field no matter where in the world they are, training workers in hazardous scenarios from safe locations, and more.
