Digital twins for greater performance and control

Digital twins – used across industries

Digital twins connect real-world assets, processes, and systems with their virtual counterparts. This enables companies to better monitor, simulate, and optimize their projects and operations—from initial planning to ongoing operation. On this page, you can find out which industries are already using digital twin software and which areas of application are benefiting most.

Core industries and areas of application

UDiTH is used by engineering, procurement and construction companies (EPCs) as well as owner/operators – mainly in oil & gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, energy, pharmaceuticals and shipbuilding.

Chemical & petrochemical industry

In complex chemical and petrochemical plants, Digital Twins provide a complete digital representation of assets, processes, and safety systems. They enable real-time monitoring of critical equipment, process simulations, and predictive maintenance to prevent failures and optimize production efficiency.
  • Improved process safety, reduced downtime, higher efficiency, and better compliance with regulatory standards.

Construction, infrastructure & smart cities

From buildings to entire cities: digital twins support construction progress, infrastructure projects, and urban planning. Traffic flows, environmental pollution, and energy consumption can be realistically simulated and controlled.

  • Advantages: More precise planning, fewer construction errors, sustainable urban development.

Energy & utilities

Whether wind farms, solar power plants, or power grids—digital twins ensure transparency in complex supply systems. With real-time data, operators can monitor the status of their systems, predict outages, and optimize energy flow.

  • Advantages: Improved security of supply, predictable maintenance, greater sustainability.

Pharmaceuticals

In pharmaceutical production, digital twins link equipment, piping, rooms and documentation in one validated view. Changes, qualification and maintenance can be planned and documented in context – supporting GMP-compliant operations.

  • Advantages: Faster changeovers and modifications, traceable documentation, easier audits.

Shipbuilding & offshore

From ship design to offshore platforms: digital twins combine 3D models, laser scans and documentation of complex, confined structures – for design reviews, outfitting, conversions and maintenance on board, even offline.

  • Advantages: Fewer clashes and rework, better planning of conversions, information available on board.
