Skärgård Labs

The simulator

One live scenario. Every seat in the room, wherever the room is.

The crane operator on a joystick in one city, the client watching on a laptop on another continent, the supervisor checking in from a phone on site. All in the same simulation, at the same moment.

How it works

The simulation runs in one place. Everyone sees it everywhere.

INPUTS Your equipment & logic CAD, blueprints, lighting specs, plus real or virtual PLCs on OPC UA, Modbus or CANbus.
SIMULATION SERVER Physics, hydro, cables, lighting Runs headless on your servers or ours, in containers.
EVERY SEAT Streamed over WebRTC Video out, control back. A browser is all a participant needs.
Chimera Simulation Monitor in a browser: environment map with geolocation beside the live simulation view
The Chimera Simulation Monitor: set location, time and weather from a browser and watch the scene update live.

What teams use it for

Evaluate, research, rehearse.

Operator training

Practise normal and failure scenarios with an instructor in the same session, from anywhere.

Operation rehearsal

Walk the whole crew through a planned job, in the expected weather and light, before mobilising.

Design evaluation

Test equipment layout, control logic and lighting before steel is cut. Change it and run it again.

Client demonstration

Send a link. Your client watches your system work, live, and can take the controls from their phone.

In every session

What is in the box.

Everything below is available in a standard scenario. Specific equipment models are built per project.

  • Multi-user, multi-deviceMac, PC, iPhone, iPad and browsers in one session.
  • Flexible inputMouse, joystick, touch, AR and industrial manipulators.
  • Floating equipmentHydrodynamic model driving heave, roll and pitch of anything on water.
  • Cable & wire physicsWinches, sheaves, umbilicals and tethers under load.
  • Simulated sensorsAccelerometers and motion feedback for control loops.
  • Live PLC connectionOPC UA, Modbus, CANbus, secured end to end.
  • Weather & time of dayNight, fog and real lamp photometry.
  • Full 4D replayRewind, re-watch from any camera, debrief.

Deployment

Runs where your data is allowed to live.

On your premises

Containerised services on your own Windows Server. Your models and PLC data never leave your network.

Hosted by us

We run it and send you the link. Good for demos, pilots and remote training. [Confirm availability]

See it with your own equipment.

A 30-minute live session: you on your laptop, us at the controls, then you take over from your phone.
