This prototype is a factory digital twin interface that turns a complex production line into something you can see, understand, and control at a glance. On my portfolio, it represents how I design end‑to‑end digital twin experiences: not just a 3D scene, but a full “operating system” for the factory, blending real‑time data, dashboards, and AI assistance into one cohesive UI.
In my prototype, the machine digital twin concept shows up as detailed assets and equipment in the 3D scene, each tied to health, status, and maintenance information—very much in the spirit of a lightweight CMMS wrapped inside a visual twin. Operators can view vitals, spot anomalies, and imagine how tasks like maintenance scheduling or asset tracking could be managed directly from this interface.
The team/dashboard layer appears through the production KPIs, charts, and overview panels that sit around the digital factory, echoing the idea of streamlined communication and visibility across the plant. Instead of isolated reports, the UI presents line performance, inventory, efficiency, and quality in context—right on top of the virtual shop floor—so it feels more like a shared “control room” than a static report.
At the core, each machine and workstation is treated as a digital twin of a real asset, with live status, performance, and maintenance context layered directly on top of the 3D factory view. Operators can zoom into a line, check vitals, spot bottlenecks, and imagine running scenarios without ever leaving the main screen. Instead of just visualizing the factory, the UI is designed to feel like a control room you can stand inside.
Around this, I prototype the “OS” experience: side navigation for factory, machines, dashboards, workforce, and AI; embedded charts for inventory, output, efficiency, and quality; and a conversational AI assistant that can answer questions, summarize issues, and help generate daily reports. The goal is to show how a modern digital twin platform could evolve starting from monitoring and visibility and growing toward predictive insights, smarter decisions, and a more empowered workforce, all through a calm, human-friendly interface.
In this video, we look at the “Iron Twin” — a technology that creates a complete digital copy of a real factory.
From one screen, you can control operations, check all production lines, and even schedule maintenance before a machine ever breaks down. It’s a simpler, smarter way to run a factory.
