Omega Simulation Releases Enhanced Version of OmegaLand Integrated DynamicSimulation Environment- Meeting customers’ evolving simulation needs Omega Simulation Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yokogawa Electric Corporation, announces the release ofOmegaLand V3.4, an enhanced version of the OmegaLand integrated dynamic simulation environment.
This core element of Omega Simulation’s plant training simulator provides realistic simulation, andan engineering environment that can swiftly adapt to customers’ varied simulation needs.
Development BackgroundIn line with advances in digital technology, companies are looking to rapidly streamline and improvethe efficiency of plant operations by making greater use of digital data and linking systems. Given suchtrends and the need for enhanced system connectivity and the streamlined modeling of ever more
complex plants, interest is growing in the field of plant dynamic simulation, typified by the use of tools
such as digital twins. In addition, the proactive introduction of digital technology has given rise to theneed for dynamic simulators that can be used not just for training, but also to achieve more efficientand stable plant operations by leveraging simulation technology to investigate and analyze process
behaviors to improve the control of their plant facilities, as well as provide operational assistanceduring actual operations.
Enhancements
1. Quick construction of simulation environments to swiftly meet increasingly complex needs
Virtual reality (VR) simulation environments that use 3D data are highly realistic, but building themrequires a great deal of engineering time and effort. By using panoramic images captured with a 360degree camera, OmegaLand V3.4 is able to significantly reduce the time and effort needed to createsuch environments, and the end result is highly realistic. With its enhanced graphic design andmodelling-related functions, engineering efficiency is also improved. In increasingly complex plants,
these functions can be used to quickly build a simulator that flexibly and quickly meet the varied
needs of operators, engineers, and other personnel as well as requirements in such areas asoperational assistance and process analysis.
2. Enhanced connectivity through the support of different operating systems
By utilizing plant control, equipment, production management, and other kinds of data, and linking
with other systems, simulators are able to build environments that are very close approximations ofactual environments. With its compatibility with devices and applications running under both 64- and32-bit operating systems, OmegaLand V3.4 is able to build high-precision simulation environmentseven in cases where there is great complexity in the linkage of plant systems.
