Deloitte and AWS Launch Digital Reality Enterprise Asset Management to Connect Disparate Multi-modal Data and Advance Spatial Intelligence

NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2025 — Deloitte, in collaboration with AWS, today announced Digital Reality Enterprise Asset Management^™ (DREAM). DREAM is a cloud-based solution that centralizes visual and spatial data and enriches it with contextual information from a variety of sources to create industrial metaverse solutions. Built on AWS, DREAM helps organizations combine reality capture with business data to scale the multi-modal data infrastructure needed for spatial and physical artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins and augmented reality use cases.

Why this matters

As organizations balance technology advancements with business strategy to remain competitive, challenges with the density and accessibility of multi-modal data continue to be a barrier to innovation. Multi-modal data is frequently siloed in different systems and locations, complicating management, modeling and governance. According to “Deloitte’s Tech Trends 2025,” spatial computing can drive business value, but few organizations have a systematic approach to handling the data required for enterprise deployment to truly unlock business value.

“Many industrial organizations struggle to scale their initial investments in digital twin or spatial computing due to challenges with multi-modal data interoperability, workflow integration, data security and infrastructure costs,” said Frances Yu, Unlimited Reality^™ business leader and principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “DREAM not only helps bring together visual or spatial data for true-to-reality simulation without major infrastructure investments, but it also incorporates the most advanced reality capture technologies to help businesses create true replicas of real-world products and scenarios. With DREAM, Deloitte and AWS can help organizations use multi-modal data to confidently champion innovation at scale.”

How DREAM works and key features

DREAM serves as a single and secure spatial data hub with integrated cyber tools at every layer and includes advanced analytics and AI capabilities.

The solution assists organizations in capturing data from real-world environments into the digital thread, utilizing drone footage, lidar, photographs, CAD, 3D models, images, video and other visual assets. DREAM then integrates information from a variety of sources, including sensors, enterprise resource planning systems, equipment data, geolocation information, map/spatial data, work orders, maintenance records and more with the collected imagery. This can help organizations combine visual, contextual, and geographic data to generate and scale more robust simulations, digital models and visualizations.

DREAM leverages AWS for efficient, low-latency asset delivery, optimized storage costs, security and support for advanced AI and Generative AI with enhanced graphics processing units. This offers a scalable and modular approach to organizational innovation and growth.

A time-to-value accelerator

DREAM can be added to existing systems and addresses common file format interoperability and proprietary data issues by converting it to more standardized formats such as GLB, USD, etc., for easy collaboration and minimal business disruption. The merging of data, which provides multi-modal insights to intelligent agents, helps businesses boost workforce productivity, automate workflows, and reduce risk and downtime. In addition, DREAM helps prevent avoidable costs such as worker error rates, maintenance and planning hours, design/build costs and product development time, and helps drive more strategic business operations.

DREAM supports a variety of industry-specific (e.g., maintenance and reliability plus turnaround shutdown for oil and gas companies, vegetation management for power and utilities) and cross-industry use cases. For example, DREAM could be used to power a reliability and maintenance digital twin by integrating asset data, such as machinery and equipment specifications, real-time sensor and production/process information, maintenance records and financial data to predict and optimize maintenance schedules and reliability. This is done through AI-enabled analysis of these integrated sources and can help enhance asset longevity and minimize downtime.

“Many energy and chemicals, power and utilities, automotive and manufacturing companies continue to struggle with connecting, structuring and managing industrial data at scale,” said Kelly Herod, vice chair, U.S. energy, resources and industrials industry leader, Deloitte. “The collaborative power of Deloitte’s industry and sector knowledge and technology with AWS’s advanced cloud solutions can help organizations incorporate spatial computing technologies to provide new toolsets such as virtual prototyping and advanced training simulations that can boost efficiency, reduce costs and foster innovation.”

The power of Deloitte Engineering, IndustryAdvantage and ecosystem co-innovation

DREAM was created in collaboration with AWS and Deloitte’s Unlimited Reality™, a multi-disciplinary innovation business with a focus on the convergence of spatial computing and multi-modal AI, Deloitte Engineering and utilizes Deloitte’s IndustryAdvantage^™ capabilities, which include sector knowledge, insights, alliances and advanced technology capabilities. It also leverages co-innovation through a vibrant ecosystem of companies for data contextualization and geospatial information.
