Simulator-driven insights

Detecting the hidden signals of failure


In complex industrial systems, early signs of failure are often missed—lost in the noise of data, hidden behind normal-looking measurements, or simply ignored by static thresholds. Simulator-driven condition monitoring allows you to detect issues before they become critical.

Limitations of current monitoring systems

    Reactive monitoring systems

    Reactive monitoring systems leave operators no time to prevent damage or downtime, forcing a constant state of damage control.

    Sensor drift

    Slow degradation of sensors causes drifts that doesn’t trigger alarms, but silently erodes a plant's performance and reliability.

    Siloed data

    Siloed systems often traps critical data; maintenance logs, process trends, and operator notes are scattered and prevents a complete picture of operations.

Static thresholds and disconnected monitoring simply aren't enough for today's complex industrial environments. The intricate interactions between equipment create subtle patterns that are easily missed without a unified, dynamic approach to monitoring.

Introducing the solution

    Build the model

    Create a digital reference, using engineering data, process design documents, and operational experience. The goal is to create a high-quality dynamic simulation that reflects the intended plant behavior.

    From offline to live

    The simulator is deployed into the digital twin and connected to real-time field data. Live plant signals are mapped to the model’s boundaries and ensures all connections are technically sound. This ultimately verifies that the simulator now responds to actual operating conditions, not just design assumptions.

    Model tuning

    Through thorough analysis, closing the gap between the model and the real plant. This process improves the model's quality, making it accurate enough to serve as a live benchmark.

    Calibrating monitoring logic

    As the live model runs, residual data is collected over a baseline period. This allows the system to learn what normal deviations look like and then automatically calibrate its thresholds.

The result is a condition monitoring solution that scales from a single system to thousands of transmitters. And the tuning work itself improves both the simulator and the plant, surfacing issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. Most importantly, this creates a solid foundation for what comes next.

Model-driven diagnostics, pattern recognition, and smarter operational insight directly inside the twin. This delivery model doesn't just end with calibrated alarms. It opens up a path forward.

Explore simulator-driven condition monitoring

With a model, you can now also have  condition monitoring.

In complex industrial systems, failure rarely comes without warning, but too often the early signs go unnoticed, lost in noise, missed by thresholds or hidden behind normal looking data.

See how we compare every real-time measurement against its expected behavior continuously and at scale. This is the power of simulator driven condition monitoring.
