Plant Simulation System Available on Iphone/Ipad
Invensys Operations Management has announced that its Eyesim virtual reality training system is now available on the Iphone and Ipad as apps focused on the gas industry. The launch of the apps, which will be demonstrated for the first time in Europe at the Gastech conference and exhibition, adds mobility to the Eyesim system, allowing in-the-field access to first-principle simulation and augmented reality. Eyesim immersive virtual reality links control-room operators to field operators, maintenance operators and other critical team members in their process by means of a high-fidelity process simulation coupled with a virtual walkthrough plant environment.
It provides a complete plant crew training system, capturing best practices, rarely used procedures and other operations and makes them systems of record for continuous use and refinement. Invensys said the introduction of mobile Eyesim extends the usability of the system to Iphone or Ipad users, allowing these mobile users to be 'virtually' be trained on systems, operational procedures and plant environments. The company said the apps are particularly suited to the gas exploration and production industry, where remote and unsafe locations are increasingly the norm.
Eyesim addresses the real-life challenges that face operators and maintenance staff daily and is of particular value in the area of safety. It can be used to rehearse safety procedures with standardised, documented processes; for operator initiation training; updating health and ensure appropriate responses occur to infrequent but safety-critical events; and gaining consistency across operations corporate-wide. Eyesim captures the inherent value in the customer's worker's knowledge base, integrating this into a comprehensive training programme that grows with their needs.
Adopting this model to mobile devices allows 'untethered' access to procedures, processes and operational statement of works without having to be at a terminal. Mobile Eyesim is used for classroom training, simulating plant experiences. By using mobile Eyesim, instructors and supervisors can monitor in real time a trainee's position and behaviour in the virtual plant environment through a client application running on an Iphone or Ipad. All 'touch' facilities are available for a complete user experience. Mobile Eyesim allows workers to more fully experience 'real-life' situations through an Ipad or Iphone interface, on the plant floor, away from the classroom.
The virtual reality training enables engineers and operators to navigate the plant in a realistic and safe training environment on their Iphone or Ipad screens. The application provides a combination of virtual reality technologies with high-fidelity process and control simulation, computer-based maintenance and documentation management.
