Your project has one reality. Your teams should too.
Eclipse RealitySync™ synchronizes people, project data, and the physical machines you build into one shared environment.

RealitySync™ at a glance
| Synchronized environment | Replaces a fragmented stack of viewers, exports, calls, and email threads. |
| Functions aligned | Engineering, operations, finance, and procurement working from one source of truth. |
| Lifecycle phases covered | Concept to service — value compounds at every stage of the asset’s life. |
Factory automation projects don’t fail at the milestones. They fail in the gaps between them.
Every capital project crosses three handoffs where money quietly leaks out, bridged today by email threads, exported PDFs, version-mismatched CAD files, and site visits that happen too late to change anything.
The intent gap
Design → Build
What engineering designed drifts from what operations actually builds. Each revision cycle widens the distance — and rework absorbs the margin.
The reality gap
Model → Machine
The digital model and the machine on the floor fall out of sync. Decisions get made against a version of reality that no longer exists.
The accountability gap
Capital → Value
The investment finance approved loses sight of the value delivered. ROI becomes an argument instead of a measurement.
Confidence — making the right call early, together, is the scarcest resource in capital-intensive work.
RealitySync™ exists to manufacture it.
One synchronized experience not another tool in the stack
RealitySync™ unifies four things normally fragmented across a project into a single shared reality that your teams step into together.
People, in sync
Bring internal teams, customers, and suppliers together in one unified digital platform to enable faster, more collaborative decision-making, co-located or remote. The penalty of distance is removed.
Project data, connected live
CAD, simulation, BOMs, and schedules stay connected, not exported, emailed, and re-versioned. Eliminate silos, delays, and version-control challenges for improved speed and quality.
Immersive collaboration
A shared spatial workspace where many people interact with the model at once, walking the line, marking up the design, and resolving conflicts in context, before steel is cut.
Lifecycle visibility
Concept through commissioning to service, all in one view. Design decisions remain visible to the people operating and servicing the machine years later as well as to the people who paid for it.
The Result
Collaboration stops being a relay race of handoffs and becomes a continuous, shared act of building.
Four leaders. One shared reality.
Built for engineering, operations, finance & procurement
Protect design intent all the way to the floor
- Co-create designs in shared spatial context — review becomes joint creation, in real time, across organizations.
- Catch interference and integration problems before steel is cut, not at commissioning.
- Preserve design intent and institutional know-how with the work, instead of losing it when people move on.
Value delivered: fewer redesign cycles, faster design freeze
Take handover of a machine you already know
- Get a faithful, synchronized view of what is actually being built — not a stale model or an export.
- Start training and commissioning planning earlier, in the same environment the machine was designed in.
- Run as designed: a clean handover means uptime from day one, not a quarter of firefighting.
Value delivered : faster ramp-up, cleaner handover, higher uptime
Tie every capital dollar to the reality it built
- Lifecycle visibility that connects investment to measurable outcomes — project health you can see, not just hear about.
- Reduced rework, faster commissioning, and de-risked schedules show up directly in project economics.
- Decisions made early, on a trustworthy shared view, are decisions that don’t blow up the budget late.
Value delivered: de-risked capital, defensible ROI
Buy against reality, not against revisions
- Specifications, BOMs, and supplier deliverables stay synchronized with the live design — no quoting against an obsolete revision.
- Bring suppliers into the shared environment to validate fit and scope before purchase orders are cut.
- Fewer change orders and expedite fees, because changes are caught in the model — not on the dock.
Value delivered: fewer change orders, tighter supplier alignment
From disconnected handoffs to real-time co-creation
The earlier a decision is made on a shared, current reality, the cheaper it is. RealitySync™ moves every decision earlier.
Today — sequential handoffs
Every team works on its own copy of reality
- Design is exported, emailed, and re-versioned across departments and suppliers.
- Each function makes decisions based on a different, aging snapshot of the project.
- Problems surface at commissioning, where they are most expensive to fix.
- Know-how lives in individuals and leaks out the door when they leave.
With RealitySync™
Everyone meets inside one live model
- Changes and decisions are made in context, with the people they affect in the room.
- Interference is caught before steel is cut, when fixing it costs hours, not weeks.
- Finance and procurement see project health continuously, not at gate reviews.
- Know-how is captured in the environment and stays with the work.
Value that compounds across the life of the asset
The same synchronized environment carries forward through every phase, so nothing is lost in translation, and every phase inherits the confidence built in the last.
| Phase | What happens |
| Concept & design | Co-create in shared spatial context from day one. |
| Simulation & validation | Validate performance against the live model, together. |
| Build & integration | Digital and physical stay in lockstep on the floor. |
| Commissioning & handover | Operations takes over a machine they already know. |
| Service & optimization | Design intent stays visible for years of uptime. |
Design decisions stay visible to the people operating and servicing the machine years later — and the capital case stays visible to the people who approved it.
Four pillars no point tool can match
Unlike generic digital-twin viewers, video conferencing, or disconnected metaverse tools, RealitySync™ makes the whole organization co-create across the full lifecycle.
Co-creation and collaboration
Review and handoff become genuine joint creation in real time — across departments, sites, and organizations.
Confidence and quality
Decisions on a shared, current, trustworthy view. Problems surface earlier; output performs as designed.
Lifecycle single source of truth
One environment spans concept to service aligning all teams. Institutional know-how compounds instead of evaporating.
ROI finance can stand behind
Lifecycle visibility connects capital to results: reduced rework, faster commissioning, de-risked schedules.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How is RealitySync™ different from a digital twin viewer?
A viewer lets one person look at a model. RealitySync™ is a synchronized environment where many people — engineering, operations, finance, procurement, suppliers, and customers interact with the live model, the project data behind it, and one another. The twin is one ingredient; the synchronized collaboration across the lifecycle is the product.
Which functions should be involved in evaluating it?
All four core buyers benefit directly: engineering (design co-creation and earlier conflict detection), operations (clean handover and faster ramp-up), finance (lifecycle visibility that ties capital to outcomes), and procurement (specifications and supplier deliverables synchronized with the live design). The strongest evaluations start with a cross-functional discovery call rather than a single-department pilot.
Where does the financial return come from?
From moving decisions earlier. Interference caught in the model costs hours; caught at commissioning, it costs weeks and change orders. Reduced rework, faster commissioning, de-risked schedules, fewer expedite fees, and earlier training all show up directly in project economics and lifecycle visibility means finance can track that return rather than estimate it.
Does it work for distributed and multi-site teams?
Yes. Co-located and remote participants meet in the same synchronized environment, whether they’re at an engineering desk, on the factory floor, at a customer site, or spread across global teams. The penalty of distance is removed from collaboration.
When in the project lifecycle should we adopt it?
Value compounds from the earliest phase, so concept and design is the ideal starting point. But the environment spans all five phases: concept, simulation, build, commissioning, and service, and teams can enter at any stage. Every subsequent phase inherits the synchronized context built before it.
