The South Korean company installs a powered conveyor system inside a truck or trailer, turning its floor

The most compelling thing about OZOMETA is the idea that a construction project can have a shared 3D working language. I met CEO Chang-Gyu Kim in person, to discuss his companys digital-twin vision.
