The distinctive feature of this CTC is the use of components from various manufacturers: the technological process model is implemented using Honeywell Unisim Design software, and the emulation of the distributed control system (DCS) is based on the iXyber OTS YokoSim software component with Yokogawa Centum VP. The "hybrid" virtual space of the field operator is realized on the iXyber 3D OTS software component. For the first time in industrial application, a semantic digital model of the object has been developed based on a 3D model of the CTC, confirming the effectiveness of the approach "3D model as the basis for the digital model!" The diesel fuel hydroprocessing unit's CTC is in operational use and is systematically employed for training the operational personnel.Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://ixyber.ru/en/en-ots-vspace-offshore-platform-2025-06-01For the first time in our practice, a virtual space of an oil production platform in the Baltic Sea has been implemented, which includes both offshore and onshore parts. The development of the interactive 3D model was based on 3D CAD design drawings, enabling the virtual space to be ready even before the completion of the construction. This allowed the operational personnel to begin training for normal and emergency situations, including commissioning scenarios, prior to the start of commissioning works on the facility. The virtual space is integrated with a third-party training simulator (CTC) and is effectively used for training the operational technical personnel of the oil production platform.Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://ixyber.ru/en/en-ots-delayed-coking-ctc-2024-09-20At a major oil refinery, a project has been completed to create a CTC for a delayed coking unit using iXyber OTS solutions: the technological process model is implemented on iXyber OTS Model, the Yokogawa Centum VP DCS simulation is on iXyber OTS YokoSim, the training environment is on iXyber OTS Training, and the virtual space of the field operator is on iXyber 3D OTS. For the first time in industrial application, a "cyber-physical" virtual space of the field operator has been implemented as an interactive 3D model of the technological object, combined with panoramic images and physical simulation of local control panels for coking chamber controls. This is the first such deployment at the facility. The CTC is systematically used for training the operational technical personnel of the delayed coking unit.Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://ixyber.ru/en/en-ots-first-launch-2023-12-22At a major oil refinery, a computer training complex (CTC) for the deasphalting unit of residue on bitumen has been put into industrial operation using iXyber OTS solutions: the technological process model is on iXyber OTS Model, the Yokogawa Centum VP DCS simulation is on iXyber OTS YokoSim, and the training environment is on iXyber OTS Training. The CTC includes a "hybrid" virtual space of the field operator as an interactive 3D model of the technological object, combined with panoramic images, implemented on the iXyber 3D OTS software component. This is the first such deployment at the facility.

The iXyber 3D OTS software component is used to implement these virtual spaces, which are integrated into existing CTCs of the hydroprocessing and catalytic reforming units, built on the Honeywell Unisim Operations simulator platform. The introduction of these VSpaces has enabled the adaptation of existing CTCs for brigade training. Now, field operators can train alongside console operators of the DCS, practicing collective operation of technological objects in routine and emergency situations in scenarios that sufficiently imitate real equipment. The development work for these virtual spaces was carried out as part of the technical support of the enterprise’s computer simulators and significantly expanded their capabilities. The updated CTCs are effectively used for training operational technical personnel.Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://ixyber.ru/en/en-ots-hybrid-space-kazakhstan-2023-06-01At one of the largest oil refineries in Kazakhstan, virtual spaces have been implemented within computer simulators of the AT and AVT units. The virtual spaces, based on the iXyber 3D OTS solution, are seamlessly integrated with computer training complexes (CTCs) built on the Honeywell Unisim Operations platform. The creation of the interactive 3D model in the virtual space was based on a point cloud from laser scanning of the technological installation, with the laser scanning itself also performed by our team. For the first time in industrial practice, a "hybrid" approach to creating the virtual space is used, where panoramic photos are integrated into the interactive 3D model of the technological object. The virtual spaces of the AT and AVT units are effectively employed within the CTCs for training operational personnel in working in the "field."Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://ixyber.ru/en/en-ots-vr-first-launch-2023-05-01At a major oil refinery, a virtual reality (VR) training complex has been put into operation.
