Our team Use HIL testing instead of hardware prototypes to test control algorithms. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is achieving a highly realistic simulation of equipment in an operational virtual environment. A typical HIL system includes sensors to receive data from the control system, actuators to send data, a controller to process data, a human-machine interface (HMI) and a development post simulation analysis platform.

• Design & development lead times are minimised by being able to model & simulate designs using multiple domains & systems.
• Early identification of potential problems & design solutions prior to rig manufacture & commissioning, substantially reducing complexity & risk.
• The ability to carry-out rig verification prior to delivery & commissioning.
• On-site commissioning time reduced compared to conventional methods.

Together, these benefits combine to enable the shortest possible lead times from initial requirement through to full rig implementation & operation.
