Digital Twin
Your quarry and asphalt plant in 3D, live, with every reading where it happens.
Interactive Demo
Try the 3D Tank View.
The real AiKuari IoT 3D view of an asphalt plant tank farm, running on demo readings. Switch to Thermal, open the Cutaway, and wait about a minute: the U Shape tank runs hot and the automation fires.

- The Rule Bitumen Over Temperature: Tank Temperature Is Above 165 °C for 1 Minute.
- The Effect The tank and its probe glow red, a notice and a toast appear, and the alarm sound plays if Sound is On.
- The Close An operator acknowledges, the reading falls back under the limit and the twin says Back to Normal.

3D Plant Model
Every machine of the plant where it really stands. Drag, zoom, click.
3D Tank View
Bitumen tanks in live 3D with Realistic and Thermal modes and a Cutaway at the radar level.
Alarm Effects
When a Rule fires the tank glows, the probe pulses and an alarm notice appears.
Process View
Material flow and each machine's state: running, warning or idle.
Heat and Energy View
Every machine coloured by temperature, from 30 °C to 190 °C.
Replay the Day
A time scrubber replays the day's stored readings.
Temperature Along the Path
From stone at air temperature to the mix at the paver.
Where the Energy Goes
The burner's heat per tonne: drying, heating and losses.
Dryer Efficiency and CO₂
Dryer efficiency and burner CO₂ per tonne, as a model estimate.
Every Truck, Checked
Load temperature, coldest corner and the predicted temperature at the paver.

Questions About the Digital Twin.
What is a digital twin in AiKuari IoT?
A live 3D model of a plant such as a crusher line, conveyor, weighbridge, quarry pit or asphalt batch plant, with sensor values placed on the equipment they measure and a time scrubber that replays the day.
What does the heat view show?
The heat view colours equipment by temperature from thermal cameras and sensors, so hot bearings, drum shells and electrical panels stand out before they fail.
Which plants can be modelled?
Crusher plants, conveyor lines, weighbridges, quarry pits and asphalt batch plants, with new twins built on request from site drawings and photos.
Does the twin use the same data as the dashboards?
Yes. The twin, dashboards, alarms and reports all read the same live Nodes, so a value is identical everywhere it appears.
What is the 3D Tank View?
A three.js 3D twin of bitumen tanks in the browser, linked to the radar level and temperature sensors. It has Realistic and Thermal modes, a Cutaway that shows the live level, and alarm effects when a Rule fires. Try the live demo on this page.
Does the 3D view need special software?
No. It runs in any modern browser with WebGL on a laptop, tablet or phone. If WebGL is not available the same values are shown as cards.
