Digital twin reproduces individual products and processes in the digital space for the purpose of real-world applications such as design, production, control, and maintenance management. The practical use of digital twin is accelerating along with technological advances in machine learning, information and communications technology, computational capabilities, and sensors.
In light of social demands such as stable energy supply and realization of a decarbonized society, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. is also working on the development of digital twins and asset integrity management services for large floating structures such as floating production, storage and offloading units. This report summarizes digital twin technology and presents a dashboard system for asset integrity management.
