Emerson Simulation Software Focuses on Lifecycle Change Management

Emerson has released version 6.LTS of its DeltaV Mimic dynamic simulation software. The software is improved to support performance and collaboration across the enterprise, helping remove silos of data that limit visibility into operator performance and providing tools to create digital twin simulations.

In the new DeltaV Mimic version 6.LTS, a new focus on enterprise connectivity, parallel long-term support (LTS) lifecycle strategy for the DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS) and DeltaV Mimic, streamlined model tuning and support for virtual controllers and larger simulations will help companies implement holistic simulation solutions, according to Emerson.

“A digital twin simulation is no longer just a discrete asset to deliver project success, but rather a comprehensive tool for continuous collaboration between process and automation engineering, plant management, training management, operations and maintenance, and more,” says Dustin Beebe, vice president of performance services for Emerson’s process systems and solutions business. “DeltaV Mimic version 6.LTS is designed to streamline that evolution, incorporating Emerson’s Boundless Automation vision for seamless data mobility to break down the silos of disconnected simulation systems at the plant level and bring the data to the enterprise where it can be used by cross-functional teams for continuous improvement.”

New enterprise capability in Mimic Train helps eliminate data silos by bringing training data out of the plant and up to the enterprise where organizations can use it in standard learning systems. Armed with data, companies will improve record-keeping, ensuring training requirements meet the organization’s standards. Enterprise teams will also be able to combine operational data with training history to explore how differences in training may be contributing to performance disparities, the company reports.
