What is an EquiSIM Digital Twin?

Digital Twins are digitally rendered environments that reflect and behave like real-world objects, physical systems, and processes. EquiSIM™ Digital twin technology involves creating a virtual replica of a physical system, such as a charging facility or network, and using it to simulate various scenarios and analyze performance.

By using digital twin technology to assess a charging facility or network, and incorporating data inputs such as routing, operational factors, and external condition information, we can gain valuable insights into how the network will perform under different conditions and usage patterns and make informed decisions about its design and operation.

Creating Realistic Scenarios

By incorporating data inputs such as routing, operations, and external condition information, we have the ability to develop realistic scenarios that truly capture the usage patterns and conditions that the charging network will encounter. Leveraging the power of machine learning models, we can accurately simulate the charging network and proactively identify any potential challenges and vulnerabilities, even before any physical modifications are implemented.

Optimizing Charging Infrastructure

With the utilization of EquiSIM, we have the power to simulate a wide range of charging scenarios, effectively assessing the performance of the charging network amidst diverse usage patterns. This empowers us to identify any potential challenges and optimize the charging infrastructure to perfectly suit the specific requirements of an electric vehicle fleet.

Enhanced Dependability

Utilizing digital twin technology, we can pinpoint potential areas of vulnerability within the charging network and devise proactive strategies to mitigate any potential disruptions. This ensures a highly reliable charging network that enables seamless operations for an uninterrupted electric vehicle fleet.

Cost Efficiency

Through the utilization of charging scenario simulations and optimization of charging infrastructure, we uncover valuable opportunities for cost efficiency. This includes the potential to decrease the required number of charging stations or incorporate more efficient and lower-power charging equipment, leading to substantial long-term cost savings.

Strategic Growth

By harnessing the power of digital twin technology, we can accurately forecast the future requirements of the charging network, enabling us to strategically plan for expansion and upgrades when needed. This innovative approach also allows us to replicate intelligent charging systems that empower you to efficiently manage your energy consumption and save on electricity costs.

How EquiSIM Works

Using EquiSIM, our team at EquiCharge Solutions will build a digital twin of your fleet yard, depot, or vehicle network. EquiCharge maps vehicles, charging/fueling infrastructure, service schedules, and operational process flows into Digital Twins to assess the conditions required for a transition to zero emissions, set goals, and optimize investment for the future. 

Utilize your service schedules, fleet data, and much more to run a 'what if' analysis on operations with Zero Emission Vehicles (staged based on your funding and vehicle replacement plans). We run various scenarios to assess current conditions, prioritize improvements and develop resilience in your facilities and fleets. EquiCharge Solutions provides support and consulting services for your digital twin across the entire project cycle.

A Digital Twin built-in EquiSIM provides an unparalleled interface to turn data into decisions.

Why Build a Data-Driven Digital Twin?

Generate and validate a constraints-driven replica of your operations. Data-Driven Digital Twins behave and react similarly to real-world operations in a digitally rendered environment. A Data-Driven Digital Twin is an essential tool that you need today to justify and learn about your zero-emission transition of tomorrow.

EquiSIM provides a low-cost, high-reward environment that helps:

  • Identify and prioritize how to phase your transition to zero emissions.

  • Streamline service and maintenance operations within your facilities or yards.

  • Validate proposal details to support government funding applications.

  • Perform analysis and generate custom reports for future state planning.

  • Inform facility layout and redesign.

  • Reduce operational costs and risks.

  • Prioritize & manage improvements and organizational changes.
