„We have been presenting the Wichmann Innovation Awards for twelve years to draw attention to user-friendly and practical innovations that advance the geospatial industry. The LocLab Cloud, which took first place in the software category, simplifies access to digital twins and thus help to better utilise the potential of these important technologies.“

The following video gives a brief overview of LocLab Consulting, our offer for digital twins and in particular the new LocLab Cloud. Find out more about how you can manage your digital twins in the cloud and which new cloud applications we offer you for integration and use. Briefly and aptly presented by our new virtual colleague.

LocLab, part of Hexagon, today announced the launch of LocLab Cloud, powered by HxDR. The cloud-based platform offers a secure end-to-end solution for 3D digital twins, allowing management and monitoring of models. It acts as an open platform, enabling partners to upload, update, access and share their own digital 3D content. Generic interfaces facilitate integration with existing systems, such as ERP, FM and IoT. Press Release

The acquisition takes the strategic partnership with Hexagon announced a few weeks ago to the next level. In addition to the accelerated expansion of our production capacities, our major innovation project, the Digital Twin Hub, will particularly benefit from the integration with Hexagon’s technology. With the Digital Twin Hub, we will be able to offer our customers and partners a secure platform for the management and use of their digital twins in just a few weeks – a request that has been increasingly made to us by our customers in recent months. HxDR, Hexagon’s cloud-based visualisation and collaboration platform, provides the ideal environment for the Digital Twin Hub. Press Release

The LocLab team is very happy about the award in the category “Young Pioneers” at the media awards! Many thanks to the organizers of the SME award and to the supporters of our presentation. It shows us that we are on the right track with our ideas and products to drive digitalization with the help of 3D Digital Twins. Mittelstandspreis der Medien.

Hexagon’s Geosystems division and LocLab, a leader in 3D digital twin content creation, announced today a strategic partnership to jointly empower industries with Smart Digital Realities in their design, construction and operations processes. Hexagon News.

Horst Benderoth Consulting (HBC) reports on the use of digital twins in its company blog.

Our video about the digital twin of an industrial fan is included in all its detail. It’s worth taking a look at benderoth-consulting.de.

In March, the PhD School on Advanced BIM Applications and Digital Twin Technology of the CBIM European Training Network took place at the Technion University in Haifa, Israel. Almost all of the 14 PhD students in the EU-funded program were able to come to Israel and meet face-to-face for the first time since the program started in 2020. There were a number of excellent lectures and talks and additionally a great organized social program.
More about the CBIM program and LocLabs involvement can be found here: CBIM is a European Training Network in the area of Cloud-based Building Information Modelling. CBIM brings together five leading universities, two software companies and a research institute from six countries, to provide PhD training through state-of-the-art research. CBIM – European Training Network.

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) describes the digital design, construction and operation of structures by means of digital building models in combination with suitable organizational forms and processes. What exactly does this mean for infrastructure construction in Switzerland? What can Switzerland learn from other countries that already use VDC for the construction of new roads, tunnels and high-speed railroads? Ilka May presented the application areas and possibilities of LocLab’s 3D Digital Twins there. Swissbau.

For the sixth time, Deutsche Bahn is providing insight into its investments to strengthen the rail network. With the publication of its book “Infrastructure Projects 2020,” Deutsche Bahn is demonstrating what it can do. LocLab Consulting is also involved. Find out more at pmcmedia.com.

In the German construction magazine DBZ, Dr. Ilka May discusses the challenges and tasks involved in digitalization in the construction industry. Find out more at dbz.de.
