Navantia COEX Digital Twin

Digital transformation in industry

A fundamental pillar underpinning digital transformation in the naval and green energy industries

We use MBSE methodologies, supported by state-of-the-art platforms, to work with advanced models and simulations throughout the design and development phases. The Digital Twin improves design efficiency and accuracy and supports operations, while providing the digital platform required for smart sustainment, procurement and product engineering throughout the entire lifecycle. Together, these capabilities optimise decision-making at every stage of design, operation and sustainment.
