Generating Digital Representations of Physical Plant
As part of our ongoing series of Digital Twin blogs, we have been looking at the capabilities, procedures and practices that are involved in generating digital representations of physical plant. Through the creation of digital twin solutions for the process industries.
Building Information modelling (BIM) is the process of creating and managing project information and data for a physical asset. BIM integrates structured, multi-disciplinary data to produce visual digital representation of an asset across its lifecycle. From planning and design to construction and operations.
TSC starts the process by creating intelligent 3D modelling and integrates the data to serve as focal points. This allows our clients to gain early insight, enhance productivity and team collaboration and efficiencies throughout a product life cycle
TSC can even do this for legacy assets with no available 3D data using our Laser Scanning Asset Capture capability. We can come to your site, scan the areas of interest, and create 3D models from the point cloud data.
An example of one of TSC’s recent digital twin projects is Highview Power’s CRYOBattery™. The project involved producing a 3D representation of their plant with a virtual plant walk around, a mathematical model of the electrical and chemical processes and a control system emulation. TSC created a complete linked digital twin of the plant for monitoring and interaction. The 3D simulation and modelling are used for design and control system verification, training and to showcase the product for potential investments in the future.
