Operate: Lifecycle Continuity
Learn how the twin supports maintenance and operational telemetry
Service and Maintenance — As-Maintained Truth
The electrical system evolves after manufacturing: wires are replaced, connectors changed, routing modified during service. These field modifications must flow back into the model so operational truth never drifts from design intent. The twin preserves both original design intent and as-maintained state—you can see what was designed versus what exists today. This dual-state preservation enables accurate diagnostics (knowing actual vs. designed configuration), supports future modifications (building on current state, not outdated design), and maintains compliance tracking. Service history links to specific components and nets, maintaining full traceability from design through manufacturing to field operations.
Actions:
- →Navigate to /projects/[id]/maintain
- →Review service overview showing maintenance history and lifecycle events
- →Understand change tracking and modification records
- →Explore component service history linked to specific components and nets
- →Observe how field modifications are recorded and traceable
Expected Outcome: Maintenance overview showing lifecycle tracking, service records, modification history, and understanding of dual-state preservation (design vs. as-maintained)
Operational Telemetry — Live Data Integration
Telemetry is consumed as normalized frames from vehicle data loggers, ECUs, and sensors. Signals link to the same twin to preserve operational continuity—voltage measurements map to nets, current readings map to wires, temperature data maps to bundles. This linkage enables real-time validation of design assumptions, anomaly detection, and performance monitoring. Operational data validates that the electrical system performs as designed under real-world conditions, and discrepancies can trigger design improvements.
Actions:
- →Navigate to /projects/[id]/telemetry
- →Review telemetry hub showing live data streams
- →Understand signal-to-model mapping (signals → nets → components)
- →Observe real-time voltage, current, and temperature measurements
Expected Outcome: Telemetry hub showing live data streams mapped to electrical model components
Live Twin — Real-Time 3D Visualization
The live twin combines operational telemetry with 3D spatial visualization. Real-time sensor data overlays on the 3D model, showing temperature gradients, voltage levels, and current flow in spatial context. This enables rapid diagnosis of issues—a hot bundle becomes visible in 3D, voltage drops are shown along routing paths, and anomalies are highlighted. The live twin bridges the gap between electrical design and physical reality, making operational data actionable.
Actions:
- →Navigate to /projects/[id]/telemetry/live
- →Review 3D visualization with live telemetry overlay
- →Observe temperature gradients and voltage levels in spatial context
- →Identify anomalies and performance issues visually
Expected Outcome: Live 3D twin showing real-time operational data overlaid on spatial model
