One Twin.
Two Departments.

A live 3D digital twin of KAUST + an AI vision layer — one intelligence platform for Operations & Maintenance and for Industrial Security & Safety.

The Idea الفكرة

One live twin of KAUST — an intelligence layer both departments share

We build a navigable 3D twin of your facilities, then add an AI vision layer on drones and cameras. Operations & Maintenance use it to run and inspect assets; Industrial Security & Safety use it to watch, protect and respond. One source of truth — two missions.

DEPARTMENT 1

Operations & Maintenance

التشغيل والصيانة

Run, maintain and inspect every asset and building from one 3D twin — with AI doing the looking.

MaintenanceBuildingsInspection

DEPARTMENT 2

Industrial Security & Safety

الأمن الصناعي والسلامة

See everything across the campus, catch the unsafe act early, and respond inside a live 3D picture.

What we bring قدراتنا

Five capabilities — already proven

3D digital twins

Navigable photogrammetry twins with pinned assets — Desktop & VR. KVL platform.

Drone + aerial AI

In-Kingdom vision models that detect from the air. Shamal AI.

Camera video analytics

Turn your existing CCTV into intelligent sensors.

VR / AR training

Immersive training & on-asset guidance. CCTV Lab · zSpace.

Live dashboards

One operations picture — every site, finding and alert.

Built here, on your infrastructure — Arabic & English, by a KAUST-based team. Nothing leaves the Kingdom.

Department 1 · Operations & Maintenance التشغيل والصيانة

Run and inspect every asset — from one 3D twin

01

Asset digital twin

Every pump, AHU, panel and valve pinned in 3D with its history, manuals, sensor data and open work orders. Walk the plant in 3D or VR.

02

AI inspection

Drones + cameras inspect roofs, façades, solar and machinery; AI flags cracks, corrosion, thermal hotspots and leaks — no rope access.

03

Condition dashboard

Asset health and sensor trends on one screen; AI catches anomalies and prioritizes work orders — condition-based, not calendar-based.

04

VR / AR maintenance

Train technicians in VR before they touch live equipment; AR step-by-step work instructions on the real asset, hands-free.

The twin becomes the single record — as-built 3D that stays current through reality capture, not outdated drawings.

O&M · Idea 1 التوأم الرقمي

An asset brain you can walk through

Click any asset → its history, manuals, sensor data and open work orders.
Navigable in 3D & VR — brief a new technician on a plant room before they ever enter it.
Stays current — reality-capture scans keep the as-built twin accurate.
Built on the KVL platform — already running; applied to your buildings & plants.

Navigable 3D twin — move through the model

Pinned asset + docs & media

Drop in models, data, web-views

Platform shown on a reef survey; the same engine builds your facility twin.

O&M · Idea 2 فحص بالذكاء الاصطناعي

Inspect from the sky and the camera — let AI flag the defects

Drone + fixed-camera inspection of roofs, façades, solar arrays and machinery.
Auto-detect cracks, corrosion, thermal hotspots, leaks and missing parts.
Reports in minutes — Arabic & English, generated from the findings.
Safer — fewer people at height or in confined spaces; findings tracked over time in the twin.

Department 2 · Industrial Security & Safety الأمن الصناعي والسلامة

See everything, everywhere — and respond in 3D

01

AI on your cameras

Video analytics on existing CCTV: PPE compliance, intrusion, restricted-zone entry, crowd density, fire/smoke and fallen-person — real-time alerts.

02

Drone patrol

Autonomous aerial patrols with AI detection and Remote-ID tracking — cover the large campus perimeter that fixed cameras miss.

03

Emergency-response twin

Hazards, exits, muster points and live feeds pinned in 3D. In an incident, responders see the situation — not a paper map.

04

VR HSE training & drills

Fire, confined-space, hazard-spotting and evacuation practiced safely — with measurable competence, not a signed sheet.

On-premise and privacy-aware — analytics run on your infrastructure; footage stays with you.

Safety · Idea 1 ذكاء على الكاميرات

Turn every camera into a safety sensor

PPE & unsafe-act alerts — no helmet, no vest, working at height without a harness.
Intrusion & restricted-zone — someone in an exclusion zone during crane or hot work.
Crowd, fire/smoke, fallen-person — the events people can't watch 24/7.
Drone patrol + Remote-ID for the perimeter — the Shamal drone-monitor dashboard.

Safety · Idea 3 الاستجابة للطوارئ

When seconds matter — command in 3D

Live feeds pinned in the twin — cameras, sensors and drone view in one 3D picture.
Evacuation routes & muster points mapped; nearest exits by location.
Reconstruct incidents in 3D for root-cause investigation and training.
One command view for the security operations centre — shared with O&M.

Start small نبدأ صغيراً

A pilot we can start in weeks — not a mega-programme

Proof — one building, a few cameras, one VR module

Twin one building; run AI on a handful of feeds; deliver one VR training module. Both departments see it live.

2–4 weeks

1

Scale — a full facility + drone patrol + condition dashboard

Extend the twin, add aerial inspection & perimeter patrol, and the condition-based dashboard.

Phase 1

2

Campus — the shared twin + security operations centre

Campus-wide twin and one command view serving O&M and Safety together.

Phase 2

What we need to start: one building or site, a few camera feeds, and a point of contact in each department.

Let's build the twin لنبنِ التوأم

One twin. Two departments.
