Professional Development Hours (PDH): 2.0
Delivery Format: Live Virtual (via Microsoft Teams)
Level: Advanced
Duration: 2 hours
Cost: $199 per person

Course Overview

Are your Digital Twin project estimates consistently falling short? Do unforeseen complexities and scope creep plague your DeltaV digital twin initiatives?

Estimating the true scope and effort required for a digital twin project in a DeltaV-controlled plant is an art and a science, fraught with hidden complexities and potential pitfalls. This advanced Micro-Seminar is meticulously designed to equip seasoned professionals with the critical foresight needed to identify "red flags" and navigate the intricate landscape of digital twin estimation. We will focus acutely on factors that exert significant influence over your project's cost, timeline, and ultimate success.

We will delve deeply into highly specific considerations that often derail initial estimates, including: the nuanced implications of Foundation Fieldbus integration; the comprehensive demands of plant startup/shutdown training scenarios; the critical incorporation of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS); the unique challenges posed by Batch processes; the complexities of Boiler Management Systems (BMSs); the true effort involved in external integrations (including Mimic with DeltaV); and how the intended use of the digital twin (especially for control logic testing) dictates required modeling fidelity.

By mastering these key areas, attendees will gain an unparalleled advantage, enabling them to provide meticulously accurate estimates, proactively manage stakeholder expectations, and effectively mitigate risks in their digital twin initiatives. Transform your estimation process from a gamble into a strategic advantage.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Accurately identify and quantify the implications of Foundation Fieldbus implementation on DeltaV digital twin estimation, including data mapping and required modeling fidelity.

  • Evaluate the significant scope and complexity added by full plant startup and shutdown training scenarios, and determine the corresponding modeling fidelity for realistic training.

  • Assess the specific challenges and resource demands associated with incorporating Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) into a digital twin for testing and validation.

  • Recognize and account for the unique complexities of Batch processes in digital twin modeling and estimation, particularly concerning sequence control and state management.

  • Understand the critical considerations for including Boiler Management Systems (BMSs) in a digital twin, with a focus on safety interlocks and complex logic.

  • Quantify the profound impact of system integrations (e.g., Mimic with DeltaV) on the overall digital twin project scope and effort.

  • Determine how the primary use case of the digital twin (e.g., control logic testing) directly influences the required level of detail and modeling fidelity, thereby affecting estimation accuracy.

  • Develop a comprehensive checklist of "red flags" to proactively identify potential scope creep, technical challenges, or underestimated efforts when estimating DeltaV digital twin projects.
