When production facilities acquire new reactors, it can often take weeks, even months, to work out the installation and operational kinks. And when they do, the process is typically based on intuition, trial and error or outdated expert experience.
Latticept aims to disrupt this process via easy-to-use, real-time digital twins. With these simulations, production facilities can anticipate all potential issues ensuring equipment works on first use and throughout the asset’s lifecycle.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 00:50 – How digital twins change production facilities
- 07:04 – How few production facilities have the data they need to maintain assets
- 08:44 – Production issue prevention and investigation workflows via simulation
