Digital Twins, Built for Operations
A TrikTraks digital twin is more than a 3D model. It is a live, data-bound representation of a vehicle, device, route, or operating environment — something you can test, simulate, and rehearse against. And because the twin contract is engine-agnostic, the same model drives a simulation today and a real asset tomorrow, with no change to your monitoring and control logic.
How we build a digital twin
From a definition to a living, testable model in five steps.
Describe what the twin represents — class, capabilities, geometry, and the zones or routes it operates in — as a structured twin definition, not a one-off 3D scene.
Connect the twin to a telemetry contract for position, state, battery, task, and health. The twin updates from that stream, whether it comes from a simulator or a live device.
Render and physically simulate the twin in a high-fidelity, real-time 3D environment so it moves, reacts, and behaves like the asset it stands in for.
Compose twins into scenarios — missions, traffic, failures, weather, and edge cases — that you can run, pause, speed up, and replay on demand.
When you are ready, point the same twin contract at real assets. Your dashboards, rules, and decisions carry over unchanged.
One contract for simulated and real assets
The reason a TrikTraks twin is an operational asset, not a demo.
The twin definition and its telemetry contract have no dependency on any rendering or game engine. The same interfaces are consumed by the simulator, by our control room, and — when deployed — by real hardware. That means you validate against simulation and keep the exact same monitoring and control surface in the field.
Simulated asset
A twin driven by the simulation engine — for design, testing, training, and rehearsal before anything is deployed.
CONTRACT
Real asset
The same twin bound to a live device or vehicle — monitored and controlled through the identical interface.
What you can model
Twins span the assets, places, and fleets your operation depends on.
Vehicles & robots
Trucks, AGVs, humanoid and fixed industrial robots — with state, battery, and current task.
AvailableDevices & sensors
Telematics units, edge devices, and field sensors that feed condition and position data.
AvailableRoutes & zones
Operating areas, depots, and routes the assets move between during a mission.
AvailableOperating environments
Facilities, yards, and field conditions twins are rehearsed against, including injected faults.

Digital Twins power Test Studio simulations and the RobotOps control room today. We would be glad to walk you through how a twin is built, tested, and promoted to live assets for your operation.
