Digital Twins

With in-house developed simulation tools and over 30 years of experience, we can build digital twins that resemble real machines very accurately. We have special technology to make these twins run in real-time and show the machine in 3D animation. This makes our digital twins ideal for interfacing with control software.

Controllab Specializes in creating digital twins to test control software and build training simulators for high-tech systems and marine offshore markets

Our customers develop complex machines that require a significant amount of software to operate. However, testing this control software can only be done when the machine is physically assembled on-site. Issues in the control software can cause delays and damage. Our digital twins are simulation models that closely resemble real machines. By connecting these twins to their control software, our customers can conduct tests without the need for a physical machine. They can easily solve problems and deliver software that works perfectly.

With over 30 years of experience and our advanced simulation tools, we can create highly accurate digital twins that mimic real machines. Our digital twins run in real-time and offer 3D animations, making them ideal for interfacing with control software. Customers even use our digital twins for training purposes due to their realistic nature.

Software

Controllab is the owner and developer of the 20-sim software package. We use this software to create digital twins: simulation models that we use to develop and test control systems and to build training simulators.

Physics

20-sim supports component based modelling. This is a modelling technique for physical systems that uses ports to connect components. Ports transfer energy from one component to the other and back. This allows us to create models by coupling individual components.

HIL Simulation

Our digital twins are simulation models that mimic real machines. We apply physics and use measurement data from other machines to make our simulation models behave exactly as the real machine.

3D Animation

3D animation involves the creation of dynamic visuals within a three-dimensional environment, providing the impression that these virtual entities are navigating through a 3D realm.

Training Simulators

Training simulators are excellent for training operators to work with equipment in hazardous environments where the safety of people is at stake.

Design Studies

When you want to improve machines, there are limits in every part. Some of these limits are related to the maximum speed, some related to the mass, some related to the geometry and so on. 

Training Simulators

Training simulators are excellent for training operators to work with equipment in hazardous environments where the safety of people is at stake. 

Control Software

Controllab has over 25 years of experience in the design, implementation and testing of control software for complex and advanced systems. The heart of these control systems are generally closed loop control systems.

Digital Twins

Modern machines are becoming more automated, digital, and intelligent. This poses a significant challenge when it comes to developing control software, especially for unique cases with limited testing and potential catastrophic failures. That’s where Controllab comes in. We specialize in digital twins, which are advanced simulation models that perfectly mimic real machines.

By applying physics principles and incorporating data from other machines, our simulation models behave just like the actual machines. But that’s not all – we excel at integrating these digital twins with control software, allowing them to operate in real-time as if you were controlling the physical machine. This makes our digital twins ideal for the development and testing of control software, also known as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation. Trust Controllab to provide you with cutting-edge solutions for leveraging the power of digital twins in your control software development needs.
