With Herrenknecht.Connected, the Herrenknecht Group offers a central digital platform for tunnelling. This platform encompasses Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) and navigation technology, separation and conveyor systems and segment production. By linking and visualising all data gathered in the module, it is possible to identify weak points in the process and find appropriate solutions. This valuable output integrates the knowledge and experience of the entire Herrenknecht Group into the joint development of the customer portal. The module 3D.ON, developed by VMT, is focused the core aspect of every tunnel project: the TBM. The system displays the planned tunnel route, the rings and segments from the navigation system, and the collected TBM sensor data.

3D.ON was developed to provide tunnelling professionals with data-driven visualisation tools that redefine the way we monitor TBM projects. By integrating machine and navigation data in the context of the surrounding geology and surface infrastructure, the system bridges the gap between complex technical processes and intuitive visual understanding, making it easier to identify potential problems and optimise performance. By bringing together disparate data sources, 3D.ON offers new perspectives, insights and knowledge.

With 3D.ON, you can visualise your entire tunnelling process in stunning 3D. Track TBM progress and tunnel evolution ring by ring, identify alignment deviations, and manage segment damage instantly. Seamless data connectivity ensures smoother collaboration between teams, providing a fully transparent view of your project from tunnelling start till breakthrough. Our innovative tool allows you to bring your tunnel experience to life with data-driven visualisations.

For unique project situations, we have developed an extension that allows tracking of two TBMs within a tunnelling section in a single view. The system shows the distance between the two TBMs and differences in storage and trend. This analysis provides insights into how one machine influences the position of the other.
