About Hopara

Hopara provides digital twin and operational-visualization software that helps organizations create interactive digital representations of laboratories, factories, equipment, workflows, and other connected environments. Its technology originated from the MIT Kyrix research project, which was developed to visualize very large datasets.

The platform brings information from operational systems, laboratory systems, spreadsheets, sensors, and other sources into a visual environment. Users can navigate facilities, locate assets, examine live information, plan layouts, identify workflow bottlenecks, and initiate operational actions from the digital representation.

Platform & Solutions

Hopara offers one primary digital twin platform with dedicated solutions for laboratories, life-sciences organizations, manufacturers, asset tracking, lab planning, and software-product integration.

Core capabilities include:

• Creating digital representations of laboratories, factories, equipment, and operational environments.
• Connecting laboratory information management systems, spreadsheets, sensors, and other operational data sources.
• Building customized operational views through a no-code editor.
• Creating equipment models and isometric visualizations from photographs.
• Mapping laboratory assets through a mobile indoor-positioning application without requiring fixed positioning infrastructure.
• Scanning asset barcodes and placing equipment on live floor plans with approximately one-metre precision.
• Tracking equipment locations, movement history, availability, utilization, documentation, and service information.
• Planning laboratory layouts and testing equipment placement or workflow changes before modifying the physical space.
• Simulating manufacturing processes and material flows to identify possible inefficiencies.
• Integrating equipment booking, service-ticket creation, and other actions into the visual environment.
• Embedding Hopara’s digital twin capabilities into third-party software products.
