Digital twins
Digital twins are transforming the way we design, monitor and manage complex systems. In this masterclass, you will gain insight into the technology, learn from concrete use cases and discover how to get started yourself. With inspiring speakers from the industry and a hands-on architecture session, we provide you with all the tools you need to effectively implement digital twins within your organisation. In preparation, you will get access to an online learning module developed by Deftiq, so you can start the session well prepared.
TARGET GROUP
This masterclass is aimed at professionals, students and companies within the blue economy who are considering implementing digital twins or want to learn more about them. Whether you operate in offshore energy, maritime technology or aquaculture, this session will help you take the next step.

PROGRAM
Introduction Digital Twins | Charlotte Larmuseau
Charlotte takes you on a journey through the world of digital twins, from digital shadow to full-fledged digital twin. She explains how this technology not only enhances simulations, but also offers tangible commercial and financial benefits, such as faster prototyping and more efficient production processes. What makes this session extra special? The integration of game engines for realistic 3D visualisations, really bringing digital models to life. Charlotte will also share inspiring examples from projects on smart cities and industrial digital twins.
Digital twins and AI at tidal turbines: how Tocardo uses six years of data for innovation | Jeremy Smith
During this session, you will discover how Tocardo is applying digital twin technology in their tidal turbine project in the Eastern Scheldt. Using six years of operational data, the digital twin is continuously refined with AI and machine learning. This enables Tocardo to optimise real-time performance, predict maintenance and gain insights that would otherwise remain invisible. Linking with the SCADA system provides a unique opportunity to learn how historical and live data come together for an accurate digital representation of an operating offshore rig.
Modelling and Simulating FLASC's Offshore Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage System | Andrew Borg
Digital Twins are virtual models that replicate physical objects, systems, or processes. FLASC's approach is different, with the Digital Twin being built in tandem with its physical pilot project. Through this presentation, FLASC will delve into how the Digital Twin is being developed, and how it is already being used prior to having the latest physical model to compare to.
Digital Twins and Drone-Inspections: innovative monitoring of offshore windturbine blades | Jeroen Verschelling
As part of the AIRTUB-Romi project, in which a large, multidisciplinary consortium aims at developing automated monitoring and inspection of off-shore windturbine blades, a digital twin (DT) of a windturbine blade is developed by TNO. This DT will be ‘fed’ with data from blade sensors that have been installed recently in a blade of a Vestas V80 windturbine. The DT, with the data from the blade sensors, will help to identify ‘regions of interest’ on the blades, which will then be inspected with a drone that will land on the blade with an ultrasonic sensor that can ‘look’ inside the blade for for structural problems.
Workshop: Introduction to Digital Shadows | Sam Van de Walle
Join us for an engaging workshop about digital shadows, where you'll get a hands-on introduction to setting up a digital shadow (a form of digital twin). We’ll dive into connecting SketchUp to Unreal Engine and Twinmotion to create realistic VR digital twins and explore how to link simulation software to Unity for seamless simulation data transfer. The session will also feature real-world examples of projects we've developed at HitLab, showcasing the practical applications of this cutting-edge technology. Whether you're a beginner or just curious about digital twins, this is the perfect starting point!
