Controllab develops digital twins, simulation models that mimic heavy machines in the offshore and steel industries. Our customers use these twins to test control software before a real machine is available. They also use them to test dangerous or complex operations. To act as a stand-in for the real machine, our digital twins have to be very accurate, very fast and easy to interface with.

In a series of technical articles, we will explain what it takes to create a good digital twin and the technologies involved. Here is a preview of the articles to come. We hope it will show the level of craftsmanship that goes into a digital twin.
