Pipe and Cable Lay

Pipe-lay and cable-lay vessels contain a lot of equipment that needs to work together to ensure a smooth operation. Controllab offers digital twins for pipe-lay and cable-lay vessels. The twins contain all the important equipment (storage carousels, straighteners, tensioners, welding stations etc.). The digital twin also includes a vessel model that allows you to test the operation in all possible weather conditions in deep sea and shallow water.

ADVANTAGES

Our digital twins are used to develop new vessels and test new control software.

  • Gain insight: Run simulations to investigate new techniques and operations
  • HIL simulation: Connect the digital twin to your PLC to test new control software.
  • Test everything: Test operations that are too dangerous or costly if the software fails.
