For Nokia, metaverse resources can facilitate processes in the industrial sector

The world knows Nokia as one of the most iconic cell phone manufacturers, mainly because it was one of the first companies to launch a mobile device. However, the company's positions suggest that the metaverse may also be the Finnish giant's focus. Company executives have been publicizing a series of metaverse initiatives for the industry, and how virtual reality can optimize the sector.

To the portal Cointelegraph, o diretor técnico da Nokia Oceania, Robert Joyce, comentou que a “Nokia montou dois laboratórios no ano passado para olhar para o metaverso e as tecnologias que o sustentam”. De acordo com o diretor, a empresa começou no ano passado uma colaboração com uma universidade australiana para oferecer uma micro cervejaria utilizando recursos do metaverso com o 5G.

How digital twins work

The proposal is to use augmented reality connected to the internet to mirror the production process of an installation in another location around the world using digital twins. “They carry out joint experiments in which they brew beer, changing the process, the temperature, the times, the volumes, the recipes. They feed this entire brewing process back into the digital twin”, says Joyce.

Thus, researchers in Sydney, Australia, are able to work together with scientists in Dortmund, Germany. All from the industrial metaverse. According to the executive, “they can actually simulate brewing in the digital twin so they can perfect the beer in the digital space.”

Nokia global director believes the industrial metaverse is in evidence

During the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, Nokia's global director of strategy and technology, Nishant Batra, had already expressed hope about the metaverse, but, according to him, it is the metaverse used in the industrial sphere that will boost the scenario. “Ports have started using digital twins to track all the containers on their docks…Aerospace companies are building engines and airframes in the digital world to simulate exactly how an aircraft will fly, long before they manufacture their first mechanical part,” commented Batra.
