Every head of an industrial enterprise knows this pain: we are drowning in data, but starving for information.
ERP, MES, SCADA, EAM, BIM, ACS, IoT, MRO – dozens of systems generate gigabytes of data. But instead of clarity, there are scattered reports. Instead of control, reactive fire extinguishing is used.The controls are like navigating in a storm – using old maps, blindly, at random. We don't anticipate the risks. We react to them when it's too late.
But what if it is possible to turn this chaos into a single field of management? To present and see a live 3D model of your business, where:
Every pump, crane, transport and warehouse is in its place
Every failure, deviation, and risk is highlighted in advance
Every decision is made in fact, in real time
This is not futurism. This is the digital shadow of an enterprise — a practical, fast and cost-effective way to get full transparency of operations without complex modeling.
And today, one of the most mature, reliable and flexible platforms for its construction is the cGIS Pro platform.
cGIS Pro is not just a visualization, it is an operating environment. An accurate 3D master plan is the basis for design, approvals, and BIM. Digital Shadow is convenient for monitoring, managing, and making quick decisions based on data.

Out-of-the-box integrations: MQTT/AMQP, REST/Webhooks, OGC (WMS/WFS), 3D Tiles, IFC, ERP/MES/SCADA/BI, Time series repositories.
Streaming data processing: updates in seconds, time axis, aggregates for "heavy" panels without brakes.
Geo- and 3D analytics: terrain-based routes, volumes, cross-sections, raster operations, spatial relationships. Asynchronous computing – the interface is not blocked.
Visualization and access: works in the browser, mobile access, first-person mode, immersive views.
Scalability and reliability: cloud/on-prem/hybrid, horizontal scaling, high SLA, updates without downtime.
Security: roles and attribute policies, auditing, in-flight and on-disk encryption, SSO/LDAP/AD, perimeter segmentation.
MRO integration (EAM/CMMS): two-way exchange: events → requests → orders → execution → confirmation → analytics. Support for SLA, hardware directories, installation locations, and spare parts.

6. Analytics: updating KPIs, adjusting thresholds and PPR
A technical parameter that characterizes the reliability of the restored device, device, or technical system.
Average recovery time. How long does it take on average to fix a malfunction: from the moment of failure to full recovery?
Repairs caused by equipment failure or not provided for in the annual plan.
Inspection, maintenance and repair activities that are carried out as planned according to a set schedule at certain time intervals.
An indicator that allows you to evaluate the processes of equipment functioning in terms of the ability to systematically produce products.
An indicator that characterizes the equipment's readiness for operation. It can refer to both individual equipment and the overall production equipment system.
An indicator that characterizes the cost of maintenance and repair per unit of production, time, or other basic unit of measurement.
An indicator that characterizes the efficiency of using material resources for equipment maintenance and repair.
An indicator that characterizes the proportion of repair and maintenance work performed based on the actual technical condition of the equipment, rather than according to a predetermined schedule.
The digital shadow on cGIS Pro is not just another system. This is a new level of management. You see the whole business: in 3D, in real time, without blind spots. You make decisions based on data, not intuition. You anticipate risks and turn them into opportunities.
