The 3D Operating System Revolutionizing the Connected Factory

At the Tech for Industry Show 2026, our VP France, Hervé Labarge, was featured in Twin+ to discuss 3dverse’s core vision and technology.

In the exclusive interview, he explores our unique positioning: transforming the industrial digital twin from a passive 3D mock-up into the factory’s ultimate visual operating system.

Bridging IT and OT Without Replacing Legacy Tools

3dverse’s platform is built on a straightforward yet transformative premise: federating existing enterprise systems (PLM, ERP, MES, and simulation tools) rather than replacing them. By connecting directly to industrial protocols (OPC UA, MQTT) and web technologies, the platform tears down traditional silos. For plant teams, this means unified, real-time access to information, eliminating the hours wasted every week hunting for data across disconnected software.

A Hybrid Cloud Architecture Built for Data Sovereignty

As highlighted in the article, security and flexibility are core pillars of our technology. Thanks to a hybrid cloud approach and offloaded GPU rendering, none of a client's sensitive CAD files need to be uploaded to the cloud just to render the 3D scene. This guarantees absolute data sovereignty and security, allowing organizations managing highly confidential environments to spatialize their data with complete peace of mind.

Nine Concrete Industrial Use Cases

The interview also highlights nine major industrial use cases deployed on the platform, spanning hypervision (enabling operators to seamlessly zoom from a macro plant-wide view down to a specific robotic component), virtual commissioning, immersive workforce training, and facility space optimization (particularly in aerospace).

Towards "Industrial Wisdom" Over the Next 5 Years

Asked about the evolution of the digital twin, Hervé Labarge references the DIKW pyramid (Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom) to outline the road ahead. Tomorrow, enhanced by artificial intelligence, the digital twin will evolve far beyond simple data visualization to become an intelligent knowledge assistant and decision-support tool—where technical complexity entirely fades away in favor of pure operational clarity.
