BMW i Ventures has invested in the German software company Ascon Systems, which is enabling the transformation to the industrial metaverse with digital twins and low-code software solutions.

With this commitment, BMW i Ventures is supporting the next stage of digital production, the potential for the industrial metaverse, and digital shopfloor management in the automotive and supplier industry. The common goal is to increase flexibility and efficiency in these important industries.

Ascon Systems paves the way for companies to achieve data-driven digital factories and provides support by combining low-code software and high-tech in four steps: automate, simulate, model and flexibilize.

The real shopfloor is connected to virtual digital twins. Decisions in the real company environment have an impact on the digital twins and vice versa. Ascon Systems thus enables the continuous optimization of industrial production processes, necessary maintenance work and training across different locations.
