Abstract
The project MainVerse aims to provide a step change in the way the facility maintenance is performed. It aims to develop a metaverse-powered facility and maintenance digital twin with automated vehicle (UxV) inspection and AI-driven condition assessment.
It aims to solve a set of current maintenance problems, such as the high resource consumption (cost, in time and money), the physical hazardous nature of the assets to be inspected (safety), the distributed nature of the ecosystem which requires both digitization of the asset and addressing security, authenticity and confidentiality concerns.
The project proposes an innovative Platform-as-a-service (PAAS) for facility Inspection and Maintenance, based on metaverse and its underlying technologies (AI) that allows the coordination and control of autonomous vehicles (AxVs) in the inspection, the creation and updation of the facility Digital Twins, its secure sharing and analysis with remote engineering and inspection teams. It will also allow the automated condition classification through AI-driven analysis.
