Digital Twin Technology in Marine Remote Operations | NTNU

Utilization of marine resources is crucial in future national value creation. The installation process and maintenance of the necessary offshore systems are demanding both for the technical solutions and for the human actions involved. New and improved analysis methods are required in deep water and cold climate in order to document the enabling technologies to perform the marine operations.
The purpose of the SFI MOVE
The SFI centre shall support the entire marine operations value chain by developing knowledge, methods and computer tools for safe and efficient analysis of both the equipment and the installation process. The developed methods shall be implemented in simulator environments to enable training of individual human actions as well as the team performance.
Research and academia
The SFI MOVE centre will be used to strengthen education at the university through transfer of research result from the academia and operational experience from the industry. The centre will facilitate a Maritime Operators Forum for exchange of information and experience between the major stakeholders within marine operations.

i still have no idea what they do

I am three years into my phd about digital twins and I am still not sure either. But hey, it sells in certain communities - so that’s all you need.

I sell DT consulting work for living. So my definition for DT is whatever client is willing to put their name on the dotted line.

Lots of trendy buzzwords but what happens when your data link goes down ? Say a pirate (sea-faring) jams your radios. Or a pirate (the computer kind) hacks into your ship. What then ?

[@leesin4321]

that is a cyber issue. same thing can be said for I4.0 factories or self-driving technology.

[@TheNefastor]

@@leesin4321 sea-faring pirates aren't a cyber issue. Also, your comment doesn't invalidate my question.

[@leesin4321]

@@TheNefastor agreed. It doesn’t invalidate your question. Pirate jamming communication or hacking the ship is a cyber issue, IMO.

@@TheNefastor Dark mining and dark manufacturing through remote operation exists for years now. So there is a solution, we just need to find it.
