Description

The procured services consist of the development of a fully visualised digital twin of the Glass Futures plant. The project includes the development of a scientifically accurate multi-physics furnace model (CFD, chemistry, mathematics and physics) capable of performing digital experiments via 'what if...?' simulations programmed through a bespoke graphical user interface (also part of this procurement). The digital twin will integrate with the Glass Futures control system in order that it will display live, accurate, plant data.
