Platform

The engine underneath every scenario.

Six layers we built ourselves, because off-the-shelf game tech was never meant to talk to a PLC or show you what a real lamp does in fog.

01 / PHYSICS

Complex physics

A physics layer designed for machinery: rigid bodies, joints and linear and angular actuators you can drive from control logic. A dedicated cable solver handles winches, wires and cables, and a hydrodynamic model handles anything that floats.

02 / CONTROL

Native PLC integration

Connect real or virtualised PLCs through secured OPC UA, Modbus and CANbus. Tags map straight onto actuators and sensors in the scene, so the simulation becomes a digital twin of your control system, and your control logic is tested against physics rather than a test bench.

03 / VISUALS

Next-level visuals

Industry-standard lamp profiles, unlimited shadows, volumetric air and in-camera optics. Train on what the real thing looks like, not a sunny-day render.

04 / NETWORK

Multi-platform by design

A .NET server coordinates every participant over WebSocket and JSON-RPC, while rendered views stream over WebRTC. Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad and browsers join the same session, each with the input that suits it.

05 / REPLAY

Full 4D replay

Every session is recorded in space and time. Scrub back, move the camera anywhere, and see exactly what happened and why. Built for debriefs, incident review and comparing design variants.

06 / INTERFACE

Cutting-edge UI tools

Operator panels, HMIs and instructor consoles built natively for each device, from a large control desk to a phone in one hand.
