Action guides for getting started in the industrial metaverse
ARENA2036 is a place where the industrial future takes shape. In our real-world laboratory, companies and research institutions test how physical production and digital models can be combined to form a shared, intelligent system.
The Industrial Metaverse is creating a new kind of value creation: data from machines, sensors, and processes flows into virtual images that support decisions, simulate processes, and visualize changes before they take place in the real factory.
Our guidelines provide a structured overview of these technological fundamentals and show how they can be applied in practice. They summarize proven methods, workflows, and empirical values from the real-world laboratory, making the industrial metaverse understandable and accessible for companies of all sizes.
The individual documents explain key concepts, provide guidance, and offer step-by-step support for implementation.
