As labor costs rise and manufacturers push for greater operational stability, automation has become a key driver of competitiveness. Yet a key challenge remains:
How can companies identify the right automation pathway—quickly, cost-effectively, and without wasting time or money in the wrong direction?
Jebsee, a leading Taiwanese manufacturer of automotive antennas and communication modules, turned to the DataMesh FactVerse digital twin platform to answer this question. Before purchasing any equipment, the company simulated multiple upgrade scenarios in a virtual environment—enabling faster decisions, clearer planning, and significantly lower risk.
With FactVerse, Jebsee was able to:
- Accelerate evaluation of automation upgrade options
- Identify a clear direction and avoid ineffective investment
- Spot potential risks early and reduce trial-and-error costs
- Improve internal communication and executive alignment through visualization
The Challenge: Traditional Validation Is Slow, Costly, and Hard to Scale
As a trusted supplier to global automakers, Jebsee is continually optimizing its production capabilities. The company planned to introduce robotic arms, conveyors, AGVs, and other automation technologies—but needed to know:
- How would each option impact capacity, cost, and ROI?
- Which automation approach offered the best balance of feasibility and value?
Conventional validation methods weren’t ideal:
- Expert judgment is fast, but often subjective
- Pilot lines are realistic, but expensive and time-consuming
- Traditional simulation tools deliver accuracy but are too heavy for early-stage exploration
Jebsee needed a way to test ideas quickly—before committing to detailed engineering work.
The Solution: FactVerse Enables Fast, Low-Risk Planning
Using DataMesh FactVerse, Jebsee validated conceptual automation strategies in just weeks—not months.
A Full Digital Twin in Two Weeks
The team built a multi-floor, multi-process production line model using FactVerse’s zero-code Designer tool. SMT, dispensing, depaneling, testing, warehousing—every workflow and piece of equipment was recreated with realistic logic and behavior.
Instant Scenario Comparison
Engineers could flexibly adjust layouts, equipment parameters, and process flows and instantly see how different automation setups performed.
Data-Driven Insights, Delivered Visually
With Data Fusion Services (DFS), Jebsee built analysis workflows and dashboards through simple drag-and-drop actions, enabling data-backed decision-making.
High-Fidelity Visualization for Clear Stakeholder Alignment
By integrating with NVIDIA Omniverse, simulations appeared in photorealistic quality.
Executives could see exactly how each scenario performed, making discussions faster and more productive.
AI-Generated Reports and Smart Recommendations
FactVerse’s AI automatically generated scenario comparison reports. During the analysis, it detected inefficiencies in manual material handling and recommended adding AGVs.
The simulation showed:
- ~18% increase in throughput
- Meaningful reduction in labor costs
FactVerse removed guesswork and significantly lowered the barrier to effective virtual planning. Within four weeks, Jebsee completed multiple rounds of evaluation and confidently narrowed down the optimal automation approach.
FactVerse helped us quickly clarify the right direction with less cost and less time. It gave us a solid foundation for planning, and ensured our resources were spent on the options with real potential.

Long-Term Benefits: A Sustainable Digital Foundation for Future Growth
What began as a planning tool now serves as a long-term digital asset for Jebsee.
The digital twin model created for this project can be reused for:
- Future capacity expansions
- Equipment changes
- Process adjustments
Once integrated with live production data, FactVerse can additionally provide:
- Real-time production monitoring
- AI-powered predictive maintenance
- XR-based training for operators
This positions Jebsee for ongoing digital transformation—not just a one-off project.
Seeing Before Building Is the New Competitive Edge
In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, the ability to validate ideas visually and intelligently before investing is becoming a strategic advantage.
Jebsee’s experience shows just how powerful digital twins can be:
Assessing direction early, cutting trial-and-error costs, and ultimately delivering stronger ROI.
DataMesh will continue empowering manufacturers and facility operators with digital twins, spatial intelligence, and AI technologies—helping them build reusable digital assets, streamline operations, and achieve sustainable, resilient growth.
