3D Asset for Web-based Virtual Engineering Platfrom as Implementation of Industry 4.0

Abstract

The industrial revolution 4.0 has developed and become a trend by combining automation technology and cyber technology. The more industry 4.0 develops, the more developed the simulation modeling system needed in all scientific fields. The new concept that can bring simulation modeling to the digital realm is needed. Virtual Engineering is a new technological development concept in simulation modeling. 3D modeling using real-world objects is a form of Virtual Engineering. Manipulating a 3D model requires an asset and a system to integrate assets into the virtual world. However, currently there is no system that can integrate assets automatically with the cyberspace. In this research, asset development is made to assist users in providing and managing assets and integrating assets automatically into the virtual world. The system has three parts, namely an asset development application, an application to provide assets through 3D scanning, a turntable system to help users perform scanning, and a 3D library system to manage assets and integrate them into the Virtual Engineering platform. Based on the test result, it was found that 3D scanning with a turntable required the fastest time that could be obtained by 34 seconds for an object weighing 500 grams. The optimal distance for the camera to scan an object is 28 cm. The 3D Library system uses the MongoDB database to integrate assets into the Virtual Engineering platform, and the system has been successfully connected to the Virtual Engineering platform.
