iXyber OTS

Next-generation training platform for creating computer training complexes (KTC) and managing the training process within the enterprise scale.

What's this for

As a process operator, I want to feel confident when operating the technological installation during startup and shutdown modes, as well as in routine and emergency abnormal situations

As a Production Director, I want to have highly qualified process operators who are trained and prepared for reliable, safe, and efficient operation of the technological facility in both routine and emergency situations

iXyber OTS - is a platform that enables the creation of models of technological processes of various scales and complexities, simulates control algorithms for emergency protection, designs user interfaces for operators of automated control systems and field operators based on 3D models, integrates models into training environments, and trains operators for safe and efficient operation of technological facilities under normal and emergency conditions

Key advantages

Integration based on a computer training platform for all plant installations, including those from third-party manufacturers (using the provided API);
Organization of the training process for all enterprise training complexes (CTC) from a unified environment;
The ability to manage virtualization infrastructure from the training platform when deploying training complexes on virtual machines (industry proven for VMware vSphere);
Direct automatic transfer of the control system configuration (algorithms, screens) to the training complex (CTC), ensuring complete fidelity and identical replication;
Virtual environment is always included — providing the capability for comprehensive team training by default;
Training planning module, automatic notification of participants, and record of training completion;
Metrics of any complexity for assessing trainees. Ability to integrate any application modules of the iXyber Platform (iXyber APC Runner, APC/PID/AE/Asset Analyst, etc.) into the training complex;
Various deployment options for the computer training complex (CTC):

locally on the technological facility;
centralized deployment in the Customer's Data Center;
in the cloud: either our cloud or any commercially available cloud service.

Modeling

Development and implementation of models for the technological process, control system, and emergency protection system

Dynamic modeling of technological processes based on rigorous physical and chemical laws, including complete calculation of all process parameters (both quantitative and qualitative);
Modeling of control system algorithms (РСУ) and safety shutdown systems based on automatic translation of automation system configuration files into iXyber OTS.
