Digital Twins. Prosegur Metaverse
For the last few months, the fourth floor of the Prosegur offices in Madrid have had a “twin” brother. This is a very accurate and highly realistic 3D virtual representation enabling remote interaction with several of the elements of the physical space it reflects, reading and restoring pressure gauges, blocking doors and monitoring cameras. We are speaking of a digital twin, a replication that uses the same technology that NASA engineers have been using for the last ten years to control aspects of spacecraft and satellites located thousands of kilometres away.
Over the last year, within the framework of its digital acceleration programme and in close collaboration with TYPSA, Prosegur has been working on its own digital twin application within the area of private security. The effort is already beginning to bear fruit and we are now using this technology as a presales argument, to preview or simulate improvements in current security systems and developing plans to integrate it into future services for our customers.
Under normal conditions, when an incident occurs, the guard in the remote guarding post activates the camera closest to the location of the event and obtains a real image; but this image is not contextualised, and must be situated on the basis of prior knowledge of the physical space of plans of the premises”. Digital twin technology provides this information in any intrinsic way, with highly intuitive visualisation.
All the guard needs to do is navigate around the digital environment to “understand the range of actions that can be carried out remotely: blocking or unblocking a door, switching a device on or off, activating a given alarm…”.
