HaptX, Inc. was founded in 2012 with a compelling, if audacious, vision: develop a system capable of providing accurate physical inputs (touch, force, temperature) across an entire user’s body to a degree that the virtual world becomes indistinguishable from the physical world. This system is both an engineering and business challenge, as it requires a commitment to a long-term development roadmap that delivers desirable products along the way. This presentation will cover some of the highlights and pitfalls of the journey to bring such a system to market through a laser focus on enterprise customers. Enterprise customers have been impactful early adopters, because their use cases are so clear; listening closely to their needs has created a durable partnership that benefits the entire industry. Developing haptic technologies that are enterprise-grade is a challenge that HaptX has been working on for a decade now. Yes, it is hard to start a hardware-based startup company. But the best is yet to come and is tantalizingly close.

Description

Virtual Manufacturing is the exercise of reproducing the physical behavior of a machine or a plant virtually, through software simulation applied to the Digital Twin. This allows engineers to integrate both mechanical design data and control software, meaning a machine can be tested entirely in the virtual world even before its construction and assembly, thus reducing the development and construction time drastically.

We needed a tool to do these activities that was totally customizable in order to integrate all the dynamics and benefits of virtualization. For this reason we developed a new software based on Unreal Engine that brings virtual manufacturing to an entire new business level.

Key benefits are:

- Development more flexible
- Photo-Realistic 3D graphics
- Advanced Human-computer interaction
- Ability to simulate a greater amount of objects
- +800% in logic calculation performance.

In Addition , our idea is to use the virtual model on the same platform to provide support for all business functions.
