← Aeterna Automation Digital Twin

Your circuit, running alongside itself.

A live process model, calibrated against your historian, that lets you monitor, forecast, and run what-if scenarios without touching the real plant. The same model can be deployed as the MPC's prediction engine — so circuit understanding built in the twin carries directly into control.

What the model provides

One model. Three uses.

Model

Represent the circuit.

Captures behaviour from your process understanding, calibrated against real data, kept current as the plant runs.

Simulate

Test in the twin, not the plant.

Try circuit variables and design changes safely off-plant — nothing you do in the twin ever actuates on the real process.

Study

Answer "what if?".

Debottleneck, evaluate design changes, and stress-test operating strategies before committing capital or downtime.

Historian-connected — InfluxDB 3 backing store, configurable retention.
Soft-sensing — fills in values you cannot measure directly, so decisions rest on a fuller picture.
Safe by design — the twin never writes to the plant. Only the MPC does, and only if you let it.
Doubles as MPC prediction model — the same understanding drives both study and control.
