RIIICO
RIIICO is a Düsseldorf-based deeptech startup turning LiDAR scans of real factories into intelligent, editable 3D models. Its AI segments and classifies every object on the shop floor, exports it as OpenUSD, and plugs into NVIDIA Omniverse and Siemens Tecnomatix so planners can redesign brownfield plants in a fraction of the usual time.
