Graduation: Generate Emulation Model of a Real Site

Description of the assignment:

The assignment involves developing an application that generates an emulation mode from a real-world customer site. The model is a 3D visual that replicates the site’s behaviour. Our controller software will interact with this digital representation as if it were controlling actual equipment. This model is particularly useful for:

• Upgrades: Testing and implementing system upgrades without disrupting the actual site.
• Small Modifications: Making minor adjustments to the system efficiently.
• Error Scenarios: Recreating and analyzing error scenarios reported by customers to identify and resolve issues.

Currently, we use generated emulation models in our test environment, but these are limited to a small number of site representations. Since each site has unique characteristics, the ability to easily generate a model for a specific site will greatly enhance our capabilities.

A site-specific emulation model significantly enhances service quality and customer satisfaction by ensuring:

• Improved On-Site Quality: By pre-testing changes and fixes, the quality of on-site operations is improved, and the risk of unforeseen issues is minimized.
• Reduced On-Site Time: By addressing potential issues beforehand, the time spent on-site for troubleshooting and maintenance is minimized, which reduces the customer’s downtime as much as possible.
