Embedded Digital Twin
OUR FITZ-ROY PROJECT, Digital twin for process performance
What Is It?
The FitzRoy Digital Twin is a Digital Representation of an Asset or System of Assets across its lifecycle. It is continuously updated by real-time Data Flows, reflecting current States and Performance while consolidating live Models for use in various applications.
This solution integrates Advanced Hardware and Software technologies, including:
- High-speed FPGA-based measurements for precision and speed,
- Robust Linux firmware for reliability and scalability,
- Python-enhanced functionalities for advanced data processing and analysis.
Key Functions
The FitzRoy device consolidates Roy Engineering expertise into a single on-site platform, enabling a wide range of functionalities:
In-depth Monitoring
- Direct, real-time Measurements of Physical quantities with high Accuracy and Frequency,
- Virtual Kalman filtering for inaccessible measurands,
- Synthetic process Performance Indicators.
Models as Objects (real-time updates of advanced models)
- Dynamic Models – State-space modeling,
- Efficiency Models – Energy conversion Optimisation,
- Polarization Models – To analyze process Performance,
- Impedance Models – For physical behavior insights,
- Degradation Models – Lifecycle Performance and Prediction.
Local and Distant Interface
- Local Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for on-site Operation,
- Connectivity with PLCs, SCADA/DCS systems, Optimisers/Solvers, and Data platforms (local and remote),
- Secured Performance Historian for asset Identification, process Traceability, and lifecycle Data management.
