Key Market Drivers
Growing trend of industrial automation
The operational technology (OT) holds a significant share in cyber-physical systems market.
The operational technology (OT) segment holds a significant share in the cyber-physical systems market due to higher demand from process industries such as oil & gas, chemical, and petroleum. This technology enables these industries to manage and control critical industrial processes in real time. These systems integrate hardware and software that collects the data, visualizes it, and takes control of the processes. Also, the industries such as energy and manufacturing rely on OT for performing operations such as process control, safety management, and monitoring. Furthermore, integrating OT with IT systems has enhanced the execution of complex industrial tasks. As industries increasingly adopt automation and smart technologies, the reliance on robust OT systems ensures its substantial share in the CPS market.
Digital twin technology to exhibit the highest growth rate in the cyber-physical systems market.
The digital twin is anticipated to hold the highest growth rate in the cyber-physical systems market. This is attributed to their unique gadgetry, which completely transforms how industries manage and optimize their assets. Digital twins can imitate real-life systems, allowing businesses to monitor, predict and simulate how they operate in real-time. This capacity is vital in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and aerospace, where there is an emphasis on the careful handling of machines and techniques. The emergence of Industry 4.0 kindled by the expanding incorporation of AI with IoT technologies, has since contributed to expediting the use of digital twins due to their ability to facilitate preventive maintenance, reduce downtimes, and enhance the decision-making process among manufacturers. Given that organizations are increasingly leaning towards productivity improvement ideas, demand for digital twin technology will be expected to keep rising, resulting in the highest CAGR in CPS markets throughout the forecast period.
Manufacturing vertical dominates the cyber-physical systems market over the forecast period.
Manufacturing is the largest vertical of the cyber-physical systems market, as heavy machinery works with advanced automation technologies to implement the most modern manufacturing process. Smart manufacturing avails itself of CPS technologies such as IIoT, robotics, and digital twins, enabling capabilities like real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimized production workflows. These are really important to enable companies to compete in a global marketplace, supporting manufacturers in increasing their efficiency, reducing charges, and offering better quality products. The emphasis on digitalization and the integration of manufacturing systems propagated by Industry 4.0 has positioned CPS technologies as the dominant sector in the market, especially for manufacturing.

Matterport Fall 2024 Release: Insights Meets Imagination elevates the platform with generative AI and more

Published

on

matterport-fall-2024-release:-insights-meets-imagination-elevates-the-platform-with-generative-ai-and-more

Matterport introduces essential new tools for real estate agents, contractors and designers
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Matterport, Inc., today unveiled a groundbreaking suite of new tools designed to reshape the way professionals design, build, and market properties. Through the power of generative AI, Matterport users can now easily reimagine the potential of any space, transforming digital twins from static replicas into dynamic canvases for creativity.

“Our Fall 2024 Release empowers users to unlock the full potential of Matterport,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and CEO of Matterport. “Imagine being able to defurnish a home with one click or generate stunning property descriptions automatically, using just the data from your digital twin. These tools save time, elevate listings, and simplify complex workflows for everyone—from real estate agents to contractors and enterprise teams. And with features like 3D model merge, field tags, and one-click bill-back processing, we’re helping customers manage spaces at scale with unprecedented speed, efficiency and precision.”
New tools for agents:
One of the most revolutionary additions in the Fall Release is Matterport’s AI-powered defurnish tool, designed to solve a common challenge for home sellers and agents: clutter. With a single click, users can now transform a cluttered living room or messy garage into a clean, open space—allowing potential buyers to visualize the home’s true potential. Whether it’s “erasing” an outdated couch or clearing out the dining room set, defurnish gives agents a powerful yet simple tool to make every property shine.
And coming soon, Matterport’s interior design tools will unlock creativity for everyone—letting users digitally furnish and redesign spaces with ease and offering a glimpse of what the future could hold.
The AI-powered property description tool is another game-changer, crafting detailed, engaging written descriptions in just seconds. Brokers and marketers can select the style and tone, ensuring each listing is perfectly tailored—whether it’s a sleek, modern downtown loft or a charming suburban home. And by leveraging the precise spatial data of every digital twin, the tool creates content that is not only beautifully written but also accurate down to the last detail, saving hours of work and producing results that even seasoned experts will admire.
New tools for property managers, contractors, and designers:
For large-scale projects, Matterport’s new Merge tool enables users to seamlessly “snap” together multiple digital twins. Imagine creating a full digital model of an entire hotel, floor by floor, or merging every floor of a high-rise office tower into one cohesive 3D tour of the building. Merge also allows multiple team members to scan different sections of a property simultaneously and integrate them later, making it possible to capture and manage even the most expansive buildings quickly and efficiently.
Field Tags further enhance the efficiency of on-site work by allowing users to add on-site observations and tags during the scanning process. No more repeat visits to capture missed details—everything can be documented in real-time, ensuring accurate, comprehensive records of the space are captured at the moment they matter most. This feature keeps teams aligned and projects moving forward without unnecessary delays.
Lastly, Matterport introduces one-click bill-back processing, a highly anticipated feature for enterprise customers. This simple yet powerful tool removes the headache of manual invoicing and cost allocation, allowing organizations to easily distribute expenses across departments and external partners. By automating billing processes, Matterport reduces administrative burdens and empowers teams to focus on what matters most.
About MatterportMatterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) is the World’s #1 Digital Twin Platform* leading the digital transformation of the built world. Our groundbreaking platform turns buildings into data to make every space more valuable and accessible.
