ABB and CORYS have entered a strategic agreement to advance digital twin modeling and simulation technology across energy and process industries, helping to drive down capital and operational costs and reduce risks for customers.
ABB Ability™ 800xA Simulator will allow complete digital replicas of a plant’s control system and when combined with CORYS’ Indiss Plus® process modeling simulator, customers will benefit from a complete digital twin solution, that supports training and allows operators to validate and test control strategies and production processes, as well as manage changes during the lifecycle of operations.
The firms say that operators can utilize the digital twin package to build intelligent models and run scenarios to increase performance of plant operations. This includes improving plant efficiency and availability, as well as reviewing and managing equipment and assets across the plant, enabling maintenance teams to build an effective condition-based maintenance programme.
