The ambition

Connect the plant.
Strengthen the operation.

Maintenance and engineering teams need the physical site, its equipment and the information behind it to make sense together. A digital twin is useful when it gives those teams a shared context for the work.

HyBird’s relationship with Holcim has grown from plant-level work into a Central European framework for connected spatial intelligence. The framework establishes a basis for further delivery; Siggenthal provides a documented example of the work already undertaken.

“Our digital twin in Switzerland is a breakthrough for the entire industry.”

The foundation / 2023

Make the plant
accessible to the team.

At Siggenthal, a specialist team captured a complex cement works to create a navigable digital twin. Holcim’s 2023 account describes a shared view of the plant and work to connect its existing production and maintenance information.

The approximately 200,000 m² site spans more than 100 main and auxiliary systems. That scale matters because of the work it supports: finding context, understanding equipment and preparing maintenance together.

The relationship ahead

A foundation
that can grow.

The regional framework places connected spatial intelligence in the context of Holcim’s enterprise systems. The opportunity is continuity between the plant, its engineering information and SAP-supported work.

Our role combines the platform with the engineering and deployment work needed to make it useful in the customer’s operation.
