Simulations of physical and technical processes for sustainable conveyance of in-depth process know-how
Physical processes such as fluid movements or heat transfers are mathematically modeled and calculated. The detailed flow diagram or process flow chart is a dynamic visualization and represents the technical system − or parts of it − with all details such as pipes, tanks, pumps,
valves, heaters, etc. The visualization is linked to the physical-mathematical models, and the
system status is displayed in real-time. Relevant manual operations and elements operable in
the real world, such as valves or dampers, can also be operated within the flow diagram. Flow
animations in pipelines make technical processes transparent and comprehensible.

In this way, proces know-how is quickly acquired, and a sustainable gain in competence is achieved.

Interactive replications of operating and user interfaces for training experiences with direct feedback
To faithfully simulate facility behaviour and design, real operating interfaces, consoles, control
boxes, etc., are interactively replicated. These can be simple units, like pump start modules,
or very complex control devices that include various screen pages. With these realistic software
replicas, your trainees can practice operation procedures with all steps just as they will later
perform them in real life. Through cross-system interfaces (standardized as well as proprietary
software and hardware interfaces), original devices can alternatively be connected to iSi-Frame.

The learning experience is highly practical and particularly effective due to its action-oriented
nature. By engaging in practical activity, trainees internalize work steps and processes sustainably. This also creates a recall value upon first operating the real equipment, providing your trainees with a good feeling and confidence. They are optimally prepared for field deployment.

Unlimited design possibilities for lessons and training scenarios
iSi-Frame enables the realization of a tailored, holistic training experience. Depending on the learning objectives and tasks, training sessions can be conducted individually and autonomously, instructor-led in class, and as targeted team training in various configurations (single-user and multi-user training). The simulation-based training environment (SimTE) integrated into iSi-Frame designs, manages, and organizes the entire training.

Creating training units in SimTE is straightforward and user-friendly due to sophisticated functions and predefined model actions:

• Activate actions and conditions that influence facility and system behavior, e.g., by selecting predefined malfunctions or defects, changing selected simulation values (e.g., tank contents), altering environmental conditions (e.g., air temperature, water salinity, wind direction)
• Save simulation sequences as instructor-led demonstrations or individual training units with operating instructions, warnings, and assistance
• Record and play back training sessions for demonstration or evaluation
• Record and save user actions and system events with an appropriate initial state for repetition
• Automatically generate learning objectives, system events, exercises, and test tasks with individual customization options by the instructor
• Assess and evaluate learning development
• Comprehensive training and course management
  

Targeted preparation of your entire team for critical situations and malfunctions during operations
Things become particularly challenging when disruptions and defects occur during the operation of a system, requiring different departments and teams to work hand in hand and react quickly to identify and resolve the cause. Mistakes by individual team members can trigger unwanted chain reactions with potentially disastrous consequences. Causing defects on the original installation for training purposes is not an option to avoid damage to people,  nature, and the system itself. Here, simulation using the digital twin as a training object is an unparalleled solution.

Multi-user training over the network 
All users connected to the network who have been assigned a "trainee role" by the instructor can work together in a scenario and influence it collectively. For instance, ship crew members with different responsibilities can jointly train on the correct response to a system failure. If a team member makes a wrong decision and errors in the simulation, other team members can intervene accordingly.

Single-user training
Each scenario or training unit can, of course, also be conducted as individual training.

Instructors with appropriate role permissions can configure a training scenario with tasks to be solved (malfunction, environmental change, etc.), start it, and transfer the  preconfigured state at any time over a network interface − for a multi-user session to  multiple or all trainees, and for a single-user session to an individual trainee. Instructors can also always retrieve system states over the network and continue working with the  respective trainee states or simulation instances.

Targeted communication training over the network 
Effective communication is essential for smooth collaboration among many people with different responsibilities. In addition to technical operations training, iSi-Frame also allows for the creation of applications for efficient communication training − including the operation of mobile radio devices and other communications equipment through GUI modules, whether generic or type-specific.

Based on the system design of your installed communication solution, the communication matrix (connection overview/radio fleet mapping) integrated into iSi-Frame captures all essential communicative emphases, user groups/departments, employee roles, communication and escalation paths, etc., for your facility operations. This matrix enables the realization of realistic communication scenarios for task-, expertise-, and situation-based training of your various teams using the relevant communication equipment, such as direct calls, group calls, or emergency calls.
