Manufacturing Plant, Yard & Supply Chain Digital Twin
Which plant or yard decisions are slow because teams cannot see the same current operational truth?
Evidence distinction: this is a representative solution case constructed from the source requirements and Mappls delivery pattern. It is not presented as a named-customer outcome unless a separate verified customer story is explicitly linked.
01 · Operating context
The decision environment and the problem to change
Plants and yards lack a current spatial operational layer linking assets, vehicles, people, incidents and workflows.
Economic decision
COO; Manufacturing Director
Technical influence
OT/IT; EHS; Maintenance; ERP
Why action becomes urgent
Plant expansion, digital-factory programme, safety incident, asset audit, yard congestion, maintenance transformation.
02 · Before and after
Change the operating model, not only the interface
Fragmented context and delayed action
Plants and yards lack a current spatial operational layer linking assets, vehicles, people, incidents and workflows.
- Location, operational and enterprise data remain separated
- Stakeholders make inconsistent decisions from partial context
- Exceptions are found late and evidence is difficult to reconstruct
A governed location-aware decision loop
2D/3D plant/yard digital twin, asset GIS, indoor/outdoor tracking, vehicle/yarde flow, safety geofences, inspections, drone capture and dashboards.
- One role-aware workspace in Mappls Digital Twin Command
- Live context moves directly into the responsible workflow
- Every decision, scenario and outcome can be measured and audited

Inside Mappls Pro, the same user can hold this role here and a different role in another application. Membership, saved runs and administration remain app-specific.
04 · Day-in-the-life journey
How the solution turns information into an operational result
Frame the operating decision
Which assets/flows and decisions matter? What CAD/BIM/ERP/OT data exists? Who owns updates?
Connect the location foundation
Bring the required map, address, road, place, imagery, asset, customer and operational data into a governed Digital Twin workspace.
Act through role workflows
Live twin, Assets, Incidents, Simulation, Work orders give each stakeholder the information, decision and action appropriate to their role.
Prove the intervention
One zone/yard pilot combining reality capture, asset register and one operational workflow.
Scale and continuously improve
Operationalise the model through Data capture + platform licence + IoT/user subscriptions + integration/O&M., adoption governance, service measurement and a managed improvement backlog.
05 · Solution and data architecture

Product details06 · Outcome and evidence
Make the value claim measurable before scaling
Bounded proof
One zone/yard pilot combining reality capture, asset register and one operational workflow.
- Confirm the baseline and decision scope: Which assets/flows and decisions matter? What CAD/BIM/ERP/OT data exists? Who owns updates?
- Use representative and, where approved, customer data in the configured workspace
- Review measurable success with the operating and economic owners: Spatial/asset accuracy accepted; target workflow cycle improves; integration and update governance proven.
- Document data quality, adoption, security, service and scale findings
- Convert evidence into a phased production scope and accountable value plan
07 · Governance and scale
Operate the solution safely and sustainably
Identity and access
Server-enforced identity, least-privilege app membership, role-specific actions and auditable administration.
Data governance
Source lineage, quality thresholds, update cadence, retention, consent and controlled data sharing.
Operating governance
Named process owners, exception SLAs, escalation, change control and adoption measurement.
Value governance
Baseline, intervention and outcome metrics reviewed on an agreed cadence with accountable owners.
