Digital Twin- Enabling asset life-cycle decision making and increasing efficiencies
A few months ago, we reported on the growing demand for digital twin solutions within the process industry.
In this edition we will focus on the capabilities and how they can increase efficiencies within your company.
A Digital Twin is based on a huge amount of real-time data and measurements which enables situations such as ‘what if’ scenarios, anomaly checking and side by side comparisons and analysis of data to predict problems before they occur. This prevents downtime, saves money, and helps develop new opportunities.
Every process plant goes through its design, construction, commissioning, operating and decommissioning phases.
Sustainability and the shift towards net zero requires companies to utilise assets to their full capability and minimise down time. The digital twin is key to effective decision making for the entire life cycle of an asset.
Some advantages of a digital twin are:
Maintenance cost reduction
- Increased safety
- Increased production and operational efficiency
- Improved profitability
- Enhanced engineering operations and performance
- Reduced downtime & reduced loss of production
- Simulated operations and the ability to compare historical data
- Predict or prevent future issues.
- Improve energy efficiency and transition
- Reduce emissions
TSC’s simulation expertise is the key component of our Digital Twin solution.
We have developed a 2-way communication link between our dynamic process simulator technology and a 3D plant model.
TSC Simulation has its own studio facility to capture and create the 3D Digital Twin image and to display this in any visualisation option.
Keep an eye out for our next edition where we look at 3D Asset Capture, the key benefits and the methods we utilise.
