API Integration

API Integration refers to the process of connecting external software applications, systems or services to a platform, such as SolidComp Reality Twin, using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). APIs act as communication bridges that enable data exchange and command execution between different systems in a standardised way.

API integrations allow seamless interoperability between the digital twin platform and other IT systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), building management systems (BMS), or Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. They facilitate real-time data synchronisation, process automation, and user experience enhancement by enabling features like live sensor visualisation, automatic asset updates or cross-platform reporting.

API integration is essential for scalable and modular software architecture and supports the development of digital ecosystems and custom applications.
