A significant shift is underway in the United States manufacturing landscape as companies increasingly turn to the industrial metaverse to tackle complex challenges across the production cycle, according to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Published on March 12, the <a href="https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Navigating_the_Industrial_Metaverse_A_Blueprint_2024.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> reveals that an overwhelming 92% of US manufacturing executives are actively exploring various applications of the metaverse. After surveying executives from 100 of the largest companies across ten industries, the WEF found that, on average, each executive was investigating up to six different use cases of the metaverse.
As reported earlier by TheCoinRise, WEF stated that the technology behind cryptography, crypto assets, and the blockchain <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/wef-says-crypto-remains-integral-to-modern-economy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">will remain a crucial component of the modern economy</a>.
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-wef-explains-the-reason-for-this-trend-span">WEF Explains the Reason for This Trend</h2>
The impetus behind this trend, as highlighted by the WEF, is the pressing need for the industrial sector to elevate its ambitions in response to the multifaceted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;
Amid the recovery, technological advancements and evolving business dynamics are creating new challenges and opportunities for growth in manufacturing.
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-examples-from-the-us-market-span">Examples from the US Market</h3>
Manufacturing firms are particularly focusing on leveraging digital twin technology, employing virtual models to represent physical objects. For instance, Amazon has been utilizing the NVIDIA Omniverse cloud services platform to enhance warehouse design and optimize robot workstations.&nbsp;
Similarly, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/mercedes-benz-files-for-5-nft-related-trademarks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mercedes Benz is leveraging the same platform</a> for designing manufacturing assembly facilities, demonstrating the diverse applications of the metaverse in industrial settings.
Furthermore, the report underscores the broad applicability of the industrial metaverse across the product life cycle, spanning pre-production, production, and post-production stages. Tasks such as product and service design, process simulations, plant management, and quality assurance can all benefit from metaverse integration.
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-wef-says-the-companies-remain-hesitant-span">WEF Says the Companies Remain Hesitant</h2>
Despite the momentum behind the adoption of the industrial metaverse, some companies remain hesitant due to concerns surrounding generative artificial intelligence. There’s a perception among many that the rise of generative AI has overshadowed the metaverse, leading to hesitancy in continued investment.
Moreover, while the metaverse promises efficiency gains in certain sectors, questions have been raised about its potential negative impacts, particularly on creative industries.&nbsp;
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-developing-countries-more-inclined-towards-metaverse-span">Developing Countries More Inclined Towards Metaverse</h3>
Researchers in the United Kingdom have emphasized the need for robust approaches to address enforcement and governance issues related to intellectual property (IP) in the metaverse, citing blockchain’s inherent challenges in managing and updating IP rights.
As per an earlier report, China, India, Peru, Saudi Arabia, and Colombia, along with other <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/new-wef-survey-shows-developing-countries-loves-metaverse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">emerging economies, are more optimistic about using</a> the metaverse for their daily engagements. Meanwhile, the more developed nations had a relatively lower number of people ready to accept metaverse technology.
