U-Twin · Facility operations and maintenance
Where the problem is, and what it was like then.
A digital twin on the floor plan, honestly.
It gathers values from scattered business systems and equipment screens into each asset's place on the floor plan and shows them as one digital twin, designed to show where and when each value came from. What it does not know, it marks as unknown; what it has filled in, it marks as filled in.
One twin, ten views.
The same assets, the same values and the same indicators are designed to be shown on the screen that fits the job. Stack the floors, put two points in time side by side, follow a power system, and open it on a phone in the field.
Floor stack
Whole building · 2.5DIt is designed to show the whole building on one sheet by stacking the floors at an angle, and to set the values carrying indicators and the disconnected sources for each floor right beside it.
Two-time comparison
Replay · the screen then, and the past as known nowIt is designed to put the same moment side by side as 'the screen as shown then' and 'the past as known now', and to point out the values that arrived late and those the source corrected afterwards as differences.
Power single-line diagram
System · from incoming power to loadsIt is designed to put current values on the diagram from the incoming supply through transformers, buses, distribution boards and loads, and to point out corrected values and stale metered values right in the system.
Campus map
Multi-site · whole campusIt is designed to put the buildings of a campus on one layout, count each building's values with indicators and disconnected sources, and open the buildings with the most indicators first.
Heat map
Floor plan · temperature distributionIt is designed to keep sensor values as points and mark the color filling the space between sensors as estimated, so that the floor's temperature distribution and the zones without sensors are seen together.
Collection status
Sources · hosts · coverageIt is designed to put each source's last success time and disconnected spans, together with the adapter host's lease and disk queue, on one screen, so that you can first check how far the values on screen can be trusted.
Asset 360
One asset · values · trend · evidenceIt gathers one asset's location, each point's value, indicator and source, the day's trend, and the work in the business system on one sheet, and is designed to go straight from each value to its source record.
Ask
Query · evidence · pointing on the planIt is designed to answer questions only from the values and history the twin has, to show on the plan which sources the answer points to, and to leave unverifiable spans out of the calculation and say so.
Line layout
Factory · process flowIn the factory, it is designed to put the state of the production and inspection systems for each process on the line layout, show a process whose inspection values are cut off as disconnected, and show the defect rate excluding that span as a calculated value.
Field mobile
QR · phone · tabletIn the field, it is designed to open an asset directly from the QR on the equipment, read values with the same indicators as the office screen, and leave a work request in the business system after confirmation.
Every value carries its source and time.
A screen filled in smoothly is hard to trust. U-Twin is designed to leave normal values quiet and attach an indicator only to the others, like a legend on a drawing. The indicators follow wherever the value goes — screen, answer, export, replay — and cannot be turned off.
Normal
No indicator. The source and time appear when you press the value.
Stale
The source observed that value longer ago than the threshold. A past value that arrived late falls here too.
Down
There is no new observation. The last value and its time stay visible and are not erased.
Quality
The quality of the value as the source reported it. Uncertain and bad are shown as they are, and if none was reported it is 'unknown' — it is not filled in on the assumption that it is good.
Est.
A value that fills something empty. The original value (for example, unknown observation time) stays as it is, and the filled-in value is kept separately.
Calculated
Calculated from the original values. The formula and inputs go along with it.
Gap
There is no basis to bring that span back. A gap is shown as a gap, with the reason written.
Corrected
The source corrected the value for the same moment afterwards. The earlier value is not erased either.
History replay
Reopen 3F as of last Tuesday 10:00.
It is designed to rewind the layout, relationships and values to that moment. It shows the spans that can be restored and those that cannot together, and if you want, lays an estimate over the gaps.
- Asset information whose past is not kept at the source is recorded directly each time it changes.
- Choose between 'the past as known now' and 'what was shown on screen then'.
- Even after the floor plan is revised, you view the old layout on the old drawing again.
Ask and answer
Answers carry evidence and time.
The AI is designed to assemble answers only from the values and history the twin has. It includes only numbers that are in the evidence or calculated from it, and states the range when an unobserved span is involved.
- It echoes back the period it read 'last week' as.
- Even without the AI, the same screen does the same job.
- It uses the AI endpoint the customer chooses. It can be configured so that nothing leaves the site.
Back to work
Make the request right where you saw it. People make the decisions.
It is designed so that a work request created from an asset is recorded in the original business system. Each write states its effect beforehand, sends exactly what was confirmed, and is reflected on screen only after the business system replies that it received it.
- Read Record — no write exists without a declared effect.
- The AI goes only as far as a draft. The confirmation cannot be skipped.

On the customer's server, with the customer's data.
U-Twin is designed to be installed in the customer's environment. The originals of business records stay in their original systems, and the twin holds only observed facts and layout.
Closed network
It comes in as an offline installation bundle and sends no usage statistics outside. Product status leaves only as a report the customer exports themselves.
The original stays where it is
The originals of work orders and the asset register stay in the business system. The twin records the values it read and their source.
Connect through adapters
One adapter per business system and equipment system connects them in a standard format. Adapters are left open so customers and partners can write their own.
It is also clear about what it does not do.
Clear boundaries are what let you trust it enough to connect it.
