Digital Twin

DIGITAL TWIN

Enable Operator Training & Advanced Testing of Processes Through Dynamic Simulation

A Digital Twin is a combination of mathematical models and machine learning data-driven models that mirror your plant assets (process equipment, instrumentation and controls) and the processes that take place within them (chemical reactions, separation processes, heat transfer) in real-time to predict future behavior. The models that make up the Digital Twin are run in parallel with the actual system and updated in real time to give the best estimate possible of the true state.

The automation portion is represented by Distributed Control Systems, Programable Logic Controllers and Safety Instrumented Systems. Mimic™ Simulation Software provides IO and process modeling and a real-time execution and integration solution for these automation platforms. Mimic Operator Training Manager supports effective operator training by adding training scenarios and instructor station controls.

This training capability empowers industrial manufacturers to mitigate the impact of the knowledge gap resulting from the aging workforce, upskill the current workforce, and ensure the continuity of operations and expertise in the long term. With Mimic, we can create a real-time, dynamic simulation of plant behaviors, enabling new operators to gain hands on experience in a controlled environment. The simulations take the operators through any number of exercises based on actual events—each one demonstrating a real issue they could potentially face in the field.

Features & Benefits

Maximize Your Digital Investment

A digital twin can help you connect experts with your operations, regardless of the location; design, build and test strategies; virtually train operators for abnormal situations; and develop and test process improvements offline.

Create the Right Model for Your Operation

Selecting the simulation fidelity based on business needs provides an effective path for ROI and a more complete picture of the operation.

Build a Bridge to Operations

An integrated, easy-to-use structure leverages design data, control data and historical data to help your team make decisions that evolve with the needs of your operations.

Improve Workforce Development & Operational Performance

A more complete digital twin model can simulate more abnormal situations faster, accelerating operator competency.
