Overview

What is a digital twin

Project data is often scattered across models, documents, systems, and teams, making it hard to see the full picture and avoid costly mistakes.

A digital twin brings everything together. It is a virtual replica of your physical asset, updated with real-time data from 3D models, P&IDs, databases, and performance metrics.

Whether you’re optimizing construction, design reviews, or operations, it becomes your single source of truth. Start making better decisions with one smart digital twin.

    Shipbuilding and offshore digital twins

    Complex ships and offshore installations demand advanced solutions. A digital twin ensures that design, PLM, ERP, and MES data is seamlessly connected across the entire project. Whether for shipyards, classification societies, or shipowners, the platform supports operations from engineering to maintenance.
    • Integrated data environment for stakeholders: Digital twins unify design, engineering, and operational data to ensure consistent and real-time access across the project lifecycle.
    • Virtual validation of ship systems: Simulation and clash detection in the 3D model allow early identification of design issues before construction begins.
    • Real-time operational insights and analytics: Live data from onboard systems enables performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, and informed decision-making.
    • Digital continuity for regulatory and lifecycle management: A digital twin provides a traceable audit trail from design to operation, supporting compliance and asset lifecycle control.

    Process industry digital twins

    In the process industry, a digital twin goes beyond a static 3D model; it’s a dynamic, evolving digital entity integrated with real-time process data, supporting everything from construction site management to operations and maintenance.
    • Smooth data integration: Merge 3D models from multiple CAD formats and connect live data.
    • Advanced visualization: Interact with project data in a powerful 3D web-based interface.
    • Full lifecycle support: From design to construction and operational maintenance.
    • Proactive issue resolution: Detect and address problems before they disrupt your schedule.

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital twin and how does it apply to ships or industrial plants?

A digital twin is a dynamic digital representation of a physical asset. In marine and process industries, it combines 3D models, documents, and real-time data to provide a comprehensive view of ship or plant performance, condition, and operations.

Do I need an existing 3D model to get started with a digital twin?

Not necessarily. While a 3D model enhances the digital twin experience, it’s not a requirement. You can start with P&IDs, equipment lists, and documents. If needed, a 3D model can be created using laser scanning or photogrammetry of the asset.

How does a digital twin differ from a traditional 3D model or P&ID?

A traditional 3D model is static, while a digital twin integrates it with live data, documentation, and system interactions – offering real-time insights, simulations, and predictive analytics.

What are the main benefits of using a digital twin in marine or process operations?

Key benefits include reduced downtime, enhanced safety, faster troubleshooting, remote collaboration, improved training, and support for compliance and sustainability goals.

How long does it take to set up a digital twin?

Setup time depends on data availability and scope. A basic digital twin can be operational in a few days to 2 weeks. More comprehensive setups with live integrations typically take 4-8 weeks.
