COEX Digital Twin
Digital transformation in industry
A fundamental pillar underpinning digital transformation in the naval and renewable energy industries
We use MBSE methodologies, supported by state‑of‑the‑art platforms, to work with advanced models and simulations during design and development phases. The Digital Twin improves design efficiency and accuracy, operations and provides the digital platform required for smart sustainment, procurement and product engineering throughout the entire lifecycle. All of this to optimise decision‑making at the various levels of design, operation and sustainment.
