Leading Virtual Reality-Based Decision-Making Platform
Take the right decisions, at the right time and execute cost-effectively with IC.IDO
Virtual Reality (VR) is the most promising technology in the future of engineering design and manufacturing. To push the limits of Virtual Product Engineering, ESI decided to use Virtual Reality as a strong technological lever. Virtual Reality speeds up design, development and planning processes in an interactive and collaborative environment, providing an unprecedented degree of 3D immersion and product understanding.
IC.IDO provides an exceedingly powerful solution combining high-end visualization, real-time simulation of product behavior, actual size, and allows product operation very close to reality. The solution has been created between market driven customers and ESI industry experts. By Visualizing 3D data in IC.IDO, our clients are able to handle multi-discipline, multi-layer and multi-sites capital-intensive decision processes in the best imaginable conditions.
Users of IC.IDO solutions range from small and mid-size companies among the manufacturing industry to the largest manufacturing organizations in the world (Aerospace, Automotive, Defense, etc.) to increase their competitive advantage and to enhance significantly their ability to innovate.

Face your industrial challenges with IC.IDO
Build large, complex and/or expensive products in the best conditions ever.
Manage High-Volume Production with the fewest chances of errors.
Resolve complex design or manufacturing issues in an Highly-Collaborative environment.
Enhance Low-Volume Production Operations (Highly-Complex products)
IC.IDO allows ESI’s customers to experience their Virtual Prototypes in a truly realistic way from the very earliest stages of design and manufacturing.
IC.IDO thereby:
Enables ‘Frontloading’ – reducing significantly time to market.
Reduces costs related to design changes and schedule amendments.
Allows to validate feasibility aspects and compliance rules.
Virtual Build
The Virtual Validation of assembly processes validates product design and process interplay, which reduces iterations and costly late change requirements to a minimum.
The assembly processes stored in the respective planning system are validated at an early time and, if necessary, can be modified, thus reducing “time to volume“.
Assembly personnel can be trained early on before production series launch, thus boosting productivity!
Virtual Service
Early validation and optimization of the feasibility of service and repair work.
Reduction of tooling change requests and related costs.
Shortening down times due to unnecessary and excessively long work deployments.
Savings on warranty and maintenance costs.
Virtual Product Presentation
Interactive presentations of large and complex Virtual Products with customers and suppliers.
Realistic appearance and plausible behavior.
Experiencing Human to Machine Interface.
Variants and configurations can be demonstrated and validated.
Portable version allows for product presentation on trade & road shows.
Efficient visualization and simulation from small desktop 3D installation to high-end multi wall installations (CAVE)
Compatible with nearly every 3D hardware
Simple, robust and standardized solution
Easy to integrate in existing processes connecting to numerous Computer Aided Engineering (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Systems
Egyszerű, robusztus és szabványosított megoldás
Tracking Devices : the main components for an highly-immersive experience
A Virtual Reality solution requires information of the user’s position and orientation to immersion into the virtual world.
Tracking systems provide such 6D information of users, input devices and mixed mock ups (seats, tools, devices).
Today’s optical tracking solutions are easy to deploy and demand marginal maintenance.
IC.IDO supports numerous tracking solutions available on the market.
“Tracking is the positional measurement of bodies (subjects or objects) that move in a defined space. Position and/or orientation of the body can be measured. If just X, Y and Z position are measured, we call this 3 degrees of freedom (3DOF or 3D) tracking. If position (3 coordinates) and orientation (3 independent angular coordinates) are measured simultaneously, we call this 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF or 6D) tracking”. (http://www.ar-tracking.com)
How does IC.IDO virtual reality-based solution revolutionize decision making ?
Real-time physics simulation assures realistic behavior of virtual objects – reliable and proven.
Best in class immersive user interface let the user intuitively engage with its virtual product(s) – no barriers.
Unique collaboration capabilities enable pari passu cooperation on the virtual model between remote sites – no limitations.
Powerful Multi-CAD and Product Data Management (PDM) support for quick process integration.
Unique massive data visualization fluently uncovers the largest data sets.
Flexible objects behave in real-time according the laws of physics
The Virtual Validation of assembly processes validates product design and process interplay, which reduces iterations and costly late change requirements to a minimum.
