Ventajas del iguverso
Los primeros clientes ya están en el iguverso y se benefician de dos grandes ventajas. Por un lado, la distancia ya no importa: un equipo, con miembros de todo el mundo, puede reunirse en el espacio digital, intercambiar ideas y trabajar en colaboración. Por otro, los proyectos se hacen más claros y tangibles desde el primer día. El iguverso también ofrece estas otras ventajas:
Mejora tecnológica
- A permanently saving and continuing virtual project space that the entire project team can use spatially as the basis for their work
- Greater safety by reducing risks
- Repeatability
- Faster integration into the production environment
- Optimise the quality of systems and machines
- Good data collection and analysis
- Understanding complex relationships and early testing
- Faster from idea to product
Reducción de costes
- Cost reduction through simulation
- Saves time on site
- Minimisation of downtimes
- Reduce the risk of planning errors
- Save travelling costs
- Prototyping effort is eliminated or reduced
Testado en el laboratorio de igus®
- During the installation of an igus e-loop on a drilling platform, important design changes ultimately meant that the product could not be installed as planned. If the assembly and installation had been simulated in the iguverse, these difficulties with the mounting bracket and cable guide would have been recognised at an early stage and could have been solved more efficiently. The virtual world would have made problems and solutions immediately visible.
Ventaja ecológica
- Reduction in travelling and travel times and therefore CO2
- Conserves resources: no need for costly prototype production
- Improves flexibility and adaptability of teams
- Increases employee satisfaction
- Can increase the effectiveness of teams

Next-level engineering: implement systems and machines faster and more efficiently in future
The iguverse uses the platform of RAUM virtual Collaboration GmbH from Cologne. Together, we are enabling the next generation of engineering - easily, efficiently and quickly! A possible application scenario for virtual collaboration could look like this:
"Soy ingeniero. Intento optimizar la producción de nuestros prototipos y hacerla más sostenible. Accedo al iguverso, una plataforma dedicada al diseño industrial en el metaverso. Con unas gafas de RV entro en la realidad virtual de igus®, trabajo digitalmente en mis proyectos y me conecto en red con mis compañeros mientras ahorro tiempo, costes y CO₂. Y puedo, en el entorno digital, visualizar claramente los problemas y elaborar soluciones rápidamente. Buscando en el área dedicada a mi sector industrial, encuentro modelos 3D para mi aplicación. Puedo desarrollar prototipos y realizar estudios de viabilidad en colaboración con los expertos de igus®. La realidad aumentada me permite identificar de forma sencilla cualquier fallo de diseño en una fase temprana. Esta solución también me ahorra tiempo, costes de desplazamiento y recursos. En el iguverso, los fabricantes de máquinas y los usuarios finales pueden intercambiar ideas, practicar y proporcionar asistencia al personal de mantenimiento.

Further possible applications of the igus metaverse
In the iguverse, customers, engineers, project managers and decision-makers will come together as avatars in the digital space. There, they use collaborative engineering to realise entire projects, from the idea to the finished product. Faster and smoother than is possible in the physical world alone.
- Plan machines, systems and vehicles.
- Find the right components quickly.
- Develop products digitally with igus experts.
- Receive virtual support for repairs.
- Train customers or employees in the use of machines thanks to digital twins.
- Avail of 1:1 feasibility analyses with 3D models to support you in product development.
- Identify weak points at an early stage and optimise your design - without physical prototypes, only with virtual commissioning.
- Present your company, your services or your products on our platform and save yourself the trouble of developing your own metaverse.
Four examples of collaborative engineering in the iguverse
The digital parallel universe from igus, powered by RAUM, serves as a collaboration platform and enables industrial companies to utilise virtual reality (VR) immediately. Digital twins of all products are provided in the iguverse, which engineers, sales staff and customers can install directly in virtual engineering. Users then work together on machines, systems and vehicles - much more effectively and quickly. Below we show you four of many examples of how the iguverse can help you in the real world.
1. Control remoto de robots
2. Simulación de montaje e instalación
3. Diseño colaborativo de productos
4. Formación, mantenimiento a distancia y puesta en marcha virtual
Opiniones sobre el iguverso
Thanks to the collaboration with igus, we were able to present a virtual reality showroom of our laser welding and laser soldering portfolio at the world's leading trade show "Schweißen und Schneiden (Welding and Cutting) 2023" and thus increase the immersive interaction with the customer. We were able to show interested parties to scale how our products are used in the automotive industry and discuss questions directly on the use case.

Gracias a los gemelos digitales de nuestros sistemas de elevación y garajes hidráulicos en iguverse, podemos dar vida a nuestros productos en cualquier momento y lugar, y también mostrarlos en funcionamiento. Esto apenas es posible en la vida cotidiana, por ejemplo, en las ferias, al tiempo que se ahorran costes. En lugar de invertir en costosas maquetas para ferias, podemos integrar de forma sencilla y flexible nuevos modelos 3D en realidad virtual y mostrar así mucho más, incluso sin una gran superficie de stand.

In addition to Siemens and Deutsche Bahn, the Cologne-based plastics specialist igus is also experimenting with the industrial metaverse. The resulting digital parallel universes could have a disruptive effect on sales, engineering and service, just like the introduction of assembly lines or robotics once did. I went straight into the iguverse and felt like the lead actress in James Cameron's not-yet-invented blockbuster "Avatar Industry".

Pasamos cerca de una hora en el universo paralelo de igus®, paseando entre coches con cadenas de arrastre integradas y viendo una cadena portacables en acción en una plataforma de perforación virtual. Con nuestras manos virtuales, pudimos hacer los productos más grandes y pequeños y examinarlos en detalle. igus® está dando sus primeros pasos hacia el metaverso dedicado a la ingeniería mecánica y de plantas, que, entre otras cosas, ofrece un gran potencial para las presentaciones de productos.
