3D Simulation
3D immersive, plant-accurate environments from Onyx 360 help teams train, plan, visualize risks, and validate decisions long before implementation. ‘Hands on’ digital environments mirror your plant with precision, facilitating smart design reviews and training of field operations without exposure to potentially dangerous processes. Visual asset management using 3D simulation
also enables centralized and remote operations.
Bring Your Plant to Life
Without Stepping Foot Inside It
Industrial facilities are complex, spatially dense, and often hazardous for new or untrained personnel; yet many organizations still rely on 2D drawings, verbal walkthroughs, or static documents to prepare their teams for critical procedures. 3D Simulation replaces these limitations by recreating the plant with engineering-grade accuracy, allowing teams to visualize workflows, test plans, and build competency in a safe, virtual environment. This accelerates readiness, reduces operational risk, and strengthens performance across your enterprise. The same 3D environment can be seamlessly integrated with a dynamic simulator to create immersive field operations training alongside a control room OTS or connected to a connected to a digital twin to support remote and integrated operations and continuous improvement initiatives.
Improve Readiness, Safety and Alignment
How it Works
Connected Performance Approach to 3D Simulation
3D Simulation becomes even more powerful inside the Onyx 360 ecosystem. Here’s how it brings visibility, alignment, and safer decision-making to your operation:
System requirements definition
We consult with manufacturers to determine the optimal system to achieve the highest return for the desired application based on our industry expertise and experience.
Build a precise 3D environment
We recreate your facility with engineering-grade accuracy, capturing layout, equipment, and spatial relationships in detail. Specialized tools use 3D CAD models or Lidar scans to quickly and accurately build the 3D environment.
Integrate procedures and context
Add operating steps, safety procedures, labels, and equipment data to support the use case or multiple use cases. The same 3D environment could be used for immersive field training tied to the dynamic simulation or for Digital Twin visualizations.
Connect to external systems
Onyx 360 Immersive Simulation systems support interoperability with any external data source. The same 3D environment could be used for immersive field training tied to the dynamic simulation and for visualization of real-time asset performance supporting remote and integrated operations.
Train, plan, explore without risk and identify issues early
Walk through workflows, test scenarios, and assess ergonomics safely—no site access or disruption required. Spot design layout conflicts, access challenges, and safety concerns early. Everyone sees the same picture in a plant realistic 3D environment.
Integrate to multi-purpose dynamic simulation or operator training systems
The Onyx 360 approach enables 3D simulation to be added alongside Multi-Purpose Dynamic Simulation or Operator Training Systems as a layer in the Connected Performance solution—without engineering rework.
