Equipment and machinery manufacturer, John Deere, has selected Matterport’s Digital Twin Platform and 3D capture technology to implement a virtual Operations Centre for remote management of more than 60 facilities across North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

The platform will produce simulated digital replicas of John Deere manufacturing facilities, where teams can remotely track progress, plan for site changes and collaborate remotely.

Utilising Matterport’s Pro2 and Pro3 cameras, John Deere will capture spatially accurate, 4k resolution digital twins to optimise facility operations. John Deere employees will be able to remotely access any facility’s digital twin to track assets and materials, monitor vehicles, and integrate real-time IoT data streams.

Such collaboration will take place in real-time and will reduce the need for costly site visits.

“For global businesses with facilities spread across several regions and time zones, the ability to remotely optimise each space based on its own unique parameters is a critical unlock for operations management,” said Jay Remley, Matterport’s Chief Revenue Officer.
