Industrialiser un jumeau numérique énergétique

Optimizing energy performance is a strategic challenge for operating fleets of complex assets. In this case, the goal is to assess the overall performance of a fleet based on the specific components of each unit (engines, boilers, batteries) and their operational profile.

To meet this challenge, our client wanted to transform an expert algorithm into a full web application that can simulate and automate energy calculations for all of its technical departments.

context

Our client operates a large fleet of technical assets, subject to stringent environmental and operational constraints. The challenge is to analyze the fleet’s overall energy performance, taking into account each ship's specific energy architecture and operating conditions.

Historically, the group relied on internal calculation tools whose use was limited to a few specialists due to complex ergonomics and limited error handling.

This situation hindered the tool's adoption. The objective was to unlock these expert algorithms, previously scarcely accessible, by integrating them into a robust platform. In close collaboration with the client, we designed a user experience that meets the strict requirements of their business while ensuring the calculation engine delivers reliable results for all technical departments.

innovations

As part of this project, our multidisciplinary team developed a professional technical application to industrialize an existing scientific code. The innovations introduced ensure greater technical robustness and widespread internal adoption.

Industrialization of an existing scientific code

Transformation of the expert code into a functional web application that is accessible, maintainable, and fully integrated into the company's software ecosystem.

Dedicated database infrastructure

Implementation of a single source of truth to organize energy components, facilitating data synchronization and comparisons across the fleet.

Modernization of the algorithmic architecture

Conversion of isolated scripts into a standardized software library, facilitating integration and maintenance within a dedicated calculation server.

Reliability enhancement and business error management

Comprehensive audit of the existing code and integration of explicit error messages based on physical quantities to guide the user.

Business user interface

Intuitive web application enabling the manipulation of digital twins and aggregation of calculations to accelerate study completion.

Hybrid Engineering-Development expertise

Deployment of dual-skilled profiles (scientific and technical) to translate business needs into high-value software features.

SOLUTION
