James summarizes the immediate value in three core pillars: visibility, control, and simplicity.

‍

Visibility without Ambiguity

The 3D interface eliminates the confusion of traditional dashboards. When a security alert triggers, managers instantly see the exact door location, surrounding areas, and which cameras have line-of-sight. "It actually makes sense in real life," James explains. "There's fewer blind spots. You've got this one visual environment." This spatial awareness even reveals coverage gaps.

‍

"You're going, well, I can see here, but there's a door over there I can't see. Maybe we need to install an additional camera".

Frictionless Remote Control

The time savings transform daily operations. James recalls a recent example: "Literally last week, I got a call, 'I've forgotten my keys, can you let me in?”

‍

Instead of searching through door IDs, James pulled up the digital twin on his phone and unlocked the door in seconds. For contractors, the system enables secure remote access: "I can see that the contractor's there, it's not some random person, and I can actually physically allow them access to the facility in real time." The response time is near-instant:

‍

"It's not that we've got a 5-second delay, it's almost, you know, a couple of milliseconds, and that door unlocks".

‍

The Roadmap Ahead

Integrated access control and CCTV is just the beginning. VirtualZ is already planning expansions into:

• HVAC control for real-time temperature and ventilation management.
• Air quality monitoring with per-room CO2 levels and color-coded visual overlays.
• Energy management for electricity consumption tracking.
• Maintenance integration connecting work order systems.

‍

James reflects on a future of 'staff-less' management:

‍

"You could really do a completely staff-less management facility... It's complete control over every single aspect of your whole facility. I genuinely believe that if you can think of it, you can make it happen."
