In part two of our\u00a0Surf Loch\u00a0series,\u00a0How do you create a digital twin of an ocean wave?<\/a><\/em>, we discussed how\u00a0combining the real and digital worlds\u00a0allowed Surf Loch to create the feel of an ocean wave inside a pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore,\u00a0through\u00a0tools like Teamcenter and\u00a0MindSphere,\u00a0Surf Loch could manage their data, monitor their systems and optimize their technology in real time. Now, we\u2019re going to discuss how these technologies help customize the perfect waves based on the rider\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary markets that use Surf Loch\u2019s wave systems are resorts and waterparks. They can also convert existing water park wave pools to work with their wave systems. The Surf Loch team discovered new opportunities to sell their wave pools in the private market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s becoming clear that the cost of technology combined with the ability to create a small pool has made it possible for companies and individuals to have a wave pool on their premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customization based on the size, location and intent is a critical factor in the Surf Loch business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a commercial perspective, the buyer of a Surf Loch pool is looking for something that is highly marketable, with high user throughput capacity and the ability to put a large volume of riders through so they can generate revenue per person. Because the surfer will vary in skill level, from first-time riders to professional surfers, it must also be safe, robust and reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of customizing the wave pools to meet the business needs, Surf Loch also must ensure their equipment creates at least ten different categories of waves for the end-user, including barreling waves, longboard waves, right waves, left waves, point break waves, sand bar waves, etc. Each one of these waves have their own characteristics. Surf Loch can replicate almost every one of those characteristics with a single machine without having to change anything but the information in the motion control software, which can be done instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
